Lochaber is a small community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in Antigonish County. Today it is known for its strawberries, and its annual Strawberry Festival.[1] The community was named after Lochaber, a mountainous area of Inverness-shire, in Scotland, from where came the first settlers.[2] It was first settled in 1810 by European settlers.[3]

Lochaber Community Renewal Project[edit]
In September 2011, the Lochaber Community Development Association held a public meeting to discuss the building of a new Lochaber Centre,[4] to replace the existing Sylvan Hall. Fundraising for the Lochaber Centre began that month, and eventually raised $350,000.[5] In October 2012, the Canadian Federal Government announced funding of $506,600,[6] the Municipality of Antigonish pledged $75,000,[7] as well.
The Lochaber Centre will include a tennis court/hockey rink, parking for 51 cars, and, in the future, a boat house for the Antigonish and St.FX Rowing Clubs.[8]
The Lochaber Centre will be a large player in Rowing, as they are hoping to host many events, being the only straight 2 kilometer course, east of Montreal.[9] The centre opened in Spring 2014.[10] In July 2014, Lochaber hosted the CanAmMex international rowing regatta.[11]
