For over 20 years, the Cape Breton Fossil Centre has protected our island's incredible geoheritage and inspired the next generation of paleontologists.
We do all of this on just $25,000 in core funding. To survive, we rely on volunteers and donors like you. Your support doesn't just keep our lights on—it funds vital fieldwork, powers school programming, and creates summer jobs (over 80% of which go to students from traditionally underrepresented groups).
From housing one of the largest Carboniferous fossil collections in Canada to welcoming researchers from Harvard and Cambridge, we punch far above our weight. Help us protect our past—please donate today!
