Bayside Travel Centre
Built for the long haul – this 16,000 sq. ft. development reflects Paqtnkek’s vision for long-term prosperity. Home to retail gas services, a commercial cardlock, and a truckers’ lounge, it welcomes travellers and supports the flow of people, goods, and opportunities throughout Unamak’ki (Cape Breton Island) and Mi’kma’ki (Newfoundland and Labrador) and beyond.
Revenue that stays home – For Paqtnkek, meaning “by the bay” in Mi’kmaq, the centre is more than a business. It creates sustainable own-source revenue that is reinvested back into the community, helping preserve culture, strengthen services, and create opportunities for generations to come.
"We are creating a better economic future for ourselves and future generations."
~ former chief PJ 'Paul' Prosper
