There are a small number of people that speak gaelic in CB. There are courses available to teach gaelic at St. Anne's college in CB and I think that they may offer them at UCCB. It's certainly not a myth, it's just not as prominant as it once was

There is some Gaelic spoken in CB. A cousin of mine is quite fluent in it. There has been a move afoot to keep the language alive and I hope it is working well.

Yep, but only older people really, and not as a first language at all. Just thrown around when asking "How are you?" and whatnot. It's more of a novelty.

I adore Mary Jane Lamond. She's from this area and there are some groups trying to preserve the culture.

Yes they do! I wish it was spoken in the Gatineau Hills: I feel that it's a part of my heritage that was lost when my ancestors crossed the ocean.
