A Distinctive Voice in the Gulf

By Linda Tancs

One thing you’ll notice among Canada’s Magdalen Islands is the array of distinctive voices peppering the locals’ speech.  It’s part of the charm of this archipelago in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.  So, too, are the harp seals.  Now is the time to observe them in their natural habitat on the ice floes around the islands.  Year-round service to the region is available by plane or bus.  Ferry service is available off-season by reservation.
