WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 —
HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA: 7am – 4pm
Be prepared for the lively abundance of life in Halifax. While the Mi’kmaq natives have lived in Nova Scotia since prehistory, the modern Halifax you experience arose in 1749, as a British military outpost in an eminently strategic location on the world’s second largest natural harbor. University town, military installation, seaport, folk music hub, golfing destination — Halifax’ civic and cultural life draws visitors year-round. Rove around Seaport Farmer’s Market, survey the variety of buskers, do a photo expedition to Peggy’s Cove, canoe the Northwest Arm, or visit historic Lunenberg. Enjoy the day in welcoming and picturesque Nova Scotia.
