Nova Scotia

Discover Nova Scotia... world class, made right here.

World famous for its seaside villages - like Peggy's Cove, Mahone Bay, and Chester - Nova Scotia is also known for its festivals (over 700 each year!), restaurants, and award-winning vineyards. From the bustling Farmer's Market in downtown Halifax, to fresh lobster straight off the boat, to artisans studios tucked along it's scallopped coastline, Nova Scotia is the place to visit for world class local food and culture.

It's also remarkably diverse - sandy beaches you can flake out on, the high tides of the Bay of Fundy to explore, and the rugged cliffs of the Cabot Trail. You can drive the length of the province in less than a day and you'll never be more than 30 minutes from the sea.

Nova Scotia Artisans

Nova Scotia's ÉCONOMUSÉE invite you to taste world class culture right in their workshops. And you can take it home with you too - after a breakfast of maple syrup pancakes, lounge in a hammock made from Nova Scotia rope. Sip a glass of Acadie Blanc from pewter goblets, a colourful quilt wrapped around your feet. Fill your house with hooked rugs, sparkling fused glass designs and ceramics that reflect Nova Scotia's principle charm - the seashore.
