Educational Resources

The McNabs Island Kit is available on loan to teachers and educators. This kit contains many hands-on materials about McNabs Island that are suitable for elementary and junior high students. It is a good way to prepare classes for a field trip to the island.

To borrow the kit, please email mcnabs@chebucto.ns.ca or call Cathy at 434-2254.

Guided Tours of McNabs Island

McNabs Island summer students provide guided tours of the island from early June until the end of August. Volunteers are available to provide tours at other times of the year. There is no charge for the guided tour, but visitors must cover the cost of their own and the guide's transportation to the island. For more information and to book a tour contact mcnabs@chebucto.ns.ca.
