Summer Sonas – Video

Sailing Sonas (Douglas 32) on Bras d’Or Lake (Mi’kmawi’simk: Pitupaq) is an experience like no other. This lake is an irregular estuary located in the centre of Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, Canada. It is connected to the open sea and is affected by the tide. Additionally, fresh water flows into the lake from rivers, making the brackish water a very productive and diverse habitat. This unique environment was recognized by UNESCO in 2011 when it designated Bras d’Or Lake Biosphere Reserve.

Sailing Sonas on this lake provides an opportunity to experience the beauty and natural diversity of the area. The lake is surrounded by lush forests, rolling hills, and sandy beaches. Wildlife of all kinds can be seen along the shoreline, including osprey, bald eagles, and various species of waterfowl. The lake is also home to a variety of fish and other marine mammals, such as porpoises and seals.
