HALIFAX

Halifax is Nova Scotia's capital city and the business, educational and cultural centre of maritime Canada. Located on a rounded peninsula bordered on the east by ten-mile-long Halifax harbour (second largest in the world), and a slender arm of the sea, the city of 120,000 offers a perfect blend of old and new - 19-th century buildings mix with concrete and glass office towers; town criers introduce jazz festivals; there's both a formal Victorian garden and an astro-turfed football field. The heart and soul of the city is its magnificent spoon-shaped harbour. Halifax today is the location of Canada's east coast navy, a busy shipping port, a cruise ship port of call and popular vacation destination for tourists, honeymooners and conventioneers.
