Baddeck, Nova Scotia
Baddeck (; 2011 population: 769) is a Canadian village in Victoria County, Nova Scotia.
It is the county's shire town and is situated on the northern shore of Bras d'Or Lake on Cape Breton Island. According to some historians the name Baddeck is derived from the Mi'kmaq term "Abadak" which has been translated as "place with an island near" (in reference to Kidston Island, immediately offshore).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Nova Scotia Geographical Names Database entry for "Baddeck" (includes map) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Place-names of the province of Nova Scotia (1922), by Thomas J Brown )〕
Today, Baddeck functions as a service centre for the sparsely populated county and hosts a well-equipped volunteer fire department, a consolidated school serving grades Primary-12, as well as a public library, provincial government offices, a hospital, the Bras d'Or Yacht Club, a branch of the Royal Canadian Legion and a nursing home.
==Tourism==
Baddeck became a tourist destination with the 1874 publication of ''Baddeck, And That Sort of Thing'', a travel story written by Charles Dudley Warner. Tourism grew even more following the construction of the Cabot Trail in 1932, with Baddeck being situated at the start and end of the loop. While the village population is just over 700 people, local hotels feature over 600 rooms. Baddeck is home to the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site, which houses a museum commemorating the work of former resident Alexander Graham Bell. Baddeck features the world-class Bell Bay Golf Club, a lake-front resort, numerous hotels/motels, restaurants, small shops, and a small airport in the foothills above the town. The local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion is open to the public, serving as a watering hole and venue for local music—having showcased musicians like Gordie Sampson in the past.〔http://www.sonicbids.com/2/EPK/?epk_id=23255#calendar〕
