A while back I contributed a blog in regard to Gaelic in Nova Scotia schools.

Some number of months later, I can now comment directly to the activities which took place as well as the degree of Gaelic language instruction that took place in one specific Core Gaelic Program in Nova Scotia.  I am referring to the Core Gaelic program which was offered at Sgoil Mhic Fhraing a Chaolais this past school year and the success it celebrates today during the closing month of the school year, June, 2011.

Winter has come to an end. This is the first post "from away."  I will struggle to capture for you what it is like to encounter Cape Breton Island, some 41 years ago for the first time, and what it is like to be completely enthralled for the last decade.
