About Dominion

Dominion is an unincorporated community in Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Regional Municipality. It is located immediately west of the larger centre of Glace Bay. Founded in 1906, Dominion got its name from the local Dominion Coal Company and owed its birth to the coal mining industry as did many of the local communities.

Read more Coal was king, and remnants of many old mine workings still run under the town. The local school, MacDonald High sank slightly into one of these mine workings and subsequently had to be torn down.
