The Strait Area Museum is now also serving as a community-based visitor information centre.
Angie MacIsaac, executive director of the Port Hastings Historical Society, the body running the Strait Area Museum, said they became a community-based visitor information centre for not only the surrounding communities but also all of Cape Breton and surrounding mainland.

MacIsaac said they are not trying to replace the former tourism information centre in the area but simply saw the need with visitors coming in and wanting help.
MacIsaac said signage is on its way, adding they are staffed by local volunteers this year. She said they want to apply for funding grants for next year to be able to hire staff.
