When going to Peggy’s Cove, don’t climb on the black fucking rocks. Not only will you be risking your life, it also acts as an indicator that you’re from Ontario and Nova Scotians don’t like Ontarians.

World famous actor Elliot Page is from Halifax. His first recognized role was on the TV Series Pit Pony (1997-2000). It was about the ponies used in the Cape Breton coal mines and the miners and their families. There is also a book of the same name.

The HRM (Halifax Regional Municipality) has approximately 1000 lakes. For perspective this is as many lakes as the entire country of Italy! The HRM is 1/55 the size of Italy so our lake density is very high.

Take a Ghost Tour if you wanna learn about the folklore of the old Fort. They run from July to October.

Personally, I think if this show had aired at the same time as Vine existed they would have made a great match.

During WWII there was a Bofors 44mm Anti-Aircraft Gun mounted on Georges Island in case of an air raid. It was removed about half way through the war as war planes were not capable of crossing the Atlantic, but submarines were. Nazi U-boats were stationed off the coast of Halifax and sometimes targeted convoys leaving for Europe.
