Thoughts From a "Lost Canadian" About Nova Scotia

Today I am very happy to share with you some interesting information about another Canadian Providence - Nova Scotia! I believe I would very much enjoy the opportunity to visit this place as it looks like there is very much to see and do in Nova Scotia for sure!

• Nova Scotia is Latin for "New Scotland".
• It is Canada's "Ocean Playground" and most populous Atlantic province.
• The province has over 8264 miles of coastline, and no point is more than 40 miles from the ocean.
• Nova Scotia's Capital, Halifax, is the largest city in Atlantic Canada, holding over 45% of the province's population.
• Originally settled by the Mi'kmaq, it was the site of the first French colony in North America (Acadia) in 1605. It became the first British colony to achieve responsible government in 1848.
• The Bay of Fundy, located between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, experiences the highest tides on Earth, with water levels rising up to 16 meters (52 feet).
• The Cabot Trail on Cape Breton Island is internationally known for its coastal scenery.
• The Halifax Seaport Farmer's Market is the oldest continuously operating farmer's market in North America.
• Halifax held the first newspaper, the first library, and the first school in Canada.
• It is a premier destination for whale watching, fossil hunting, and exploring historic lighthouses.
• The Joggins Fossil Cliffs, a UNESCO World Heritage site, feature fossil-bearing rock formations which are over 300 million years old.
• The Bay of Fundy is home to several species of whales during the summer months, including the rare Right whale.
• The First Peoples called Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site the "Land of the Fairies", and its lush forests, meandering rivers and island-dotted lakes will help you immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Nova Scotia. This is the only Parks Canada site which is designated both a National Park and a National Historic site.
