THE CLAIRESTONE INN Stay & Explore Isle Madame Shauna Austin was missing inspiration, and felt a calling back to Cape Breton, to the remote Isle Madame, Nova Scotia after being away from home for many years to continue her entrepreneurial journey. Returning to her roots and happy to be close to her family, Austin took on a business project that would give her and a local business a fresh start and guests the opportunity to experience the warm, Nova Scotian hospitality that brought her back to this little Island home.

The Rodd family hospitality business has been there for tourists for eighty-eight years and counting. Starting from a small group of cottages to a large hotel family-owned chain with third generation company leadership.

With an insider look at the Rodd Grand Yarmouth Hotel, we dive further into the Maritime hospitality in the coastal town of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, and what the Rodd Grand Hotel has to offer those coming to this seaside town for business or pleasure. THE BAY OF FUNDY Tides, Towns & Tranquility
The fourth and final installment of our Canada's Ocean Playground Series explores the extraordinary Bay of Fundy region, which is a body of water that lies between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick on Canada's East Coast plus is also so large that it even touches the state of Maine in the United States. It is known for extremely high tides, amazing shellfish, outstanding whale-watching experiences, phenomenal fossil and rock-hounding experiences, and some of the best places to eat, play and stay along the Fundy shoreline.
