Land and Area

Stroll the grounds, the trails, paddle, have a bonfire…

Tatamagouche Centre sits on 15 acres of rolling lawns, flower gardens, and huge oak and linden trees on kilometres of Trans-Canada trails and the junction of Tatamagouche Bay, the Waugh and French River.

Incorporate the land and the outdoors into your gathering. Your team can enjoy biking or hiking along the Trail, kayaking or paddle boarding the river, snowshoeing through the local winter wonderland, a reflective stroll through the outdoor labyrinth, have a bonfire at night or simply a leisurely stroll of the grounds and take in the charm of the oldest homes of Tatamagouche.

Tatamagouche Centre is located in Mi’kma’ki (MEEG-MA-GEE), the traditional and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq. Tatamagouche is a historical and contemporary gathering place for the Mi’kmaq, and the name Tatamagouche is derived from a Mi’kmaq word which roughly translates to “the place where the water is barred by sand.”

We recognize and honor the Mi’kmaq for our respective rights to reside here in harmony and for the continued well-being of this territory. We commit to peace and friendship and work together with the Mi’kmaq and other Indigenous nations to preserve the lands and waters, and to live out our roles and responsibilities as Treaty people within the sacred Treaties of Peace and Friendship.
