Lochaber (Loch Abar) is a small community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in Antigonish County. It is famed for its black cattle.[1]

It was named after Lochaber, a mountainous area of Inverness-shire, in Scotland, from where came the first settlers.[2]

Lochaber Community Renewel Project

The Site Plan for the Lochaber Centre

In September 2011, the Lochaber Community Development Association held a public meeting to discuss the building of a new Lochaber Centre,[3] to replace the existing Sylvan Hall. Fundraising for the Lochaber Centre began that month, and eventually raised $350 000[4]. In October 2012, the Canadian Federal Government announced funding of $506 600[5], the Municipality of Antigonish pledged $75 000[6], as well.

The Lochaber Centre will include a boat launch, tennis court/hockey rink, hoop house, dog park, parking for 51 cars, and a boat house for the Antigonish and St.FX Rowing ClubsCite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page).. 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.[7]
