Cape Breton Regional Municipality (CBRM) is a regional municipality in Nova Scotia, Canada. The 2001 population was 105,968, making it Nova Scotia's second most populous urban centre.
In the early 1990s the provincial government sought to reduce the number of municipalities in Halifax County and Cape Breton County and created a task force in 1992 to pursue this rationalization. In 1995, the Cape Breton Regional Municipality Act was implemented and the CBRM was created on August 1, 1995.
The CBRM constitutes the following now_amalgamated municipalities:
NovaScotia vacations are truly worlds-away from anything you’ve ever experienced.
Award-winning vineyards are scattered about the province, nationally recognized chefs are at the helm of NovaScotia restaurants and over 700 festivals each year keep the spirit and culture of the province alive.
A NovaScotia accommodation may be found for every style of getaway—find a resort and spa or a quaint bed and breakfast, choose an urban Halifax NovaScotia hotel or go all natural at a provincial park campground.
