There were events all over the biosphere reserve put on by community groups as well as the Bras d’Or Lake Biosphere Reserve Association. The Association hosted a Designation Ceremony Concert at the Highland Village Museum on September 17th from 2-5 pm.  CBRA’s Chair, Jean-Philippe L. Messier, had the privilege of giving a speech during that celebration on behalf of the other 15 Canadian Biosphere Reserves.
