On Thursday, October 13th, we participated in our annual Celtic Colours event. During this time our third Storytelling Event took place. Guests were presented with an overview of the role Chapel Point played throughout the centuries. Our next Storytelling Event will be held Sunday November 8th at 1:30. We will be presenting a reenactment of receiving the telegram that ended the First World War. Lockman’s beach was the site of the transatlantic cable that carried that message. History shows that it was the first place the message landed in North America and it was relayed via landline to the telegraph office in North Sydney.

Thank you to all that came to our second “Storytelling by the Sea”. Approximately 55 people had the pleasure of the company of Lesley Crewe for a lovely afternoon of entertainment. Lesley read from her latest book “ The Spirit of Scatarie”, and then entertained the audience with stories behind the story and the parts of her life that influenced her writing. We are very grateful you gave us your time. Thank you!

Thank you for your thoughtful support!

☀️🌊 Farewell to another wonderful summer at Atlantic Memorial Park! ⚓️💙

As our season comes to a close, we are filled with gratitude for every visitor, family, donor, and community partner who supported us this year. Thank you for helping us celebrate and preserve this remarkable place! 🇨🇦🌿

A special thank-you to our Board of Directors, volunteers, and seasonal staff for their time, dedication, and passion. Your hard work helps protect the historic Chapel Point Battery—an important part of Canada’s Second World War coastal defences—and the rich cultural history of Sydney Mines. 🕊️📖

We shared stories, laughter, learning, and so many beautiful memories this summer. Until we welcome you back again, thank you for carrying the story of Atlantic Memorial Park forward! 🌅⚓️

Farewell, summer—and thank you for everything! ☀️💛

Our first Storytelling Event was a hugh success with approximately 30 people in attendance to listen to the reading, storytelling and music of Hugh MacDonald. An enjoyable afternoon was had by all as they listened to excerpts from Hugh two novels and listened to the stories behind the story. The afternoon was capped of by Hugh performing a few songs and offering autographs of his books. I would like to thank all that attended, especially Hugh for providing such an enjoyable time. We look forward to our next Storytelling Event scheduled for September 13th at 1:30 at the park, 19 Amber Drive, with Lesley Crewe reading and entertaining us.

🪨⚒️ Coal, Community & Wartime History

This little basket holds pieces of Sydney Mines history.

Collected along Lockman’s Beach, these pieces of coal are a reminder of the resource that helped build our community and played an important role far beyond Cape Breton.

For generations, coal mining was at the heart of Sydney Mines. During the First and Second World Wars, Cape Breton coal became especially important—fueling railways, ships and industry, while helping power the steel production that supported Canada’s wartime efforts. ⚓🇨🇦

It’s especially fitting to see this coal here at Chapel Point Battery. The military history preserved at Atlantic Memorial Park and the industrial history of Sydney Mines are deeply connected parts of the same story.

And that story began millions of years before the mines ever opened! 🌿🦖

If you’d like to learn more about the ancient forests, fossils and geology behind Cape Breton’s coal, we encourage you to visit our friends at the Cape Breton Fossil Centre, also located right here in Sydney Mines!

From ancient forests, to coal mines, to wartime industry—there is so much history beneath our feet. 💙
