Pictou Island was settled in the early 1800s by Irish and Scottish immigrants, a hard-working, independent people who survived by farming and fishing. The pioneers left a legacy of self-sufficiency, co-operation, public service, and a keen sense of fun that current Islanders strive to uphold.
The island today is home to a community of year-round and seasonal residents, and a haven for many cottagers and visitors. Pictou Island is a supportive community with a strong spirit. |
