Topmost Ship: Billy and Topper Chart a Course Aboard the Acadia
This next adventure in Billy Mink's Maritime Mink web series has him pop in a trunk aboard the CSS Acadia at Halifax's Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. With the help of Topper the Topmost Mouse, Steve the Shipkeeper, Erik the Cat, and Merlin the Macaw, Billy discovers Acadia's amazing history, and how it helped chart much of Canada's Northeast coast. He learns about cartography, and how ships like Acadia played a vital role in Canadian navigation. It's actually the only vessel still afloat today that survived the massive 1917 Halifax Explosion… a story Captain Nemo saves for another time.
Special note: This MOM (Multimedia Outreach Module) was developed in partnership with the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. It's part of a Nova Scotia story arc that will also feature episodes created with the The Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21, the Nova Scotia Museum of Industry, and the Atlantic Canada Aviation Museum.
MY LAST DAY IN CANADA // Halifax, NS
I visit Halifax, Nova Scotia on my last day in Canada before I leave for my trip to Nicaragua, Central America. I start off in Dartmouth, NS and walk down to the ferry terminal, and then wander around the Halifax Waterfront, hop aboard the CSS Acadia, and then make my way back across the Halifax Harbour to Dartmouth. All in all, a wonderful day to say goodbye to the East Coast of Canada ⚓????????❤️

Museum throws retirement party for its beloved cat
A Canadian community comes together to heap love and gratitude on a cat — Erik the Red wandered on to the the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic’s CSS Acadia in 1999 and quickly became a permanent fixture on the Halifax docks. He established himself as both the ship's rodent control officer and an incredibly popular unofficial greeter --- meeting commuters coming off the ferry every morning with many stopping to pet him, bring him treats or snap photos. He also made friends in nearby shops — of course any store with a comfy stack of t-shirts was a favorite.
But age and poor health is poor health is catching up to Erik — workers estimate he’s around 18 years old now and lost an eye to cancer last year — so the museum threw Erik a lavish retirement party, inviting the community to have one last visit with the popular kitty. There were artistic tributes, speeches, a cake and of course plenty of gifts, and many shared their favorite moments with Erik on social media.

Halifax Travel Guide - Canada Exceptional Moments
Halifax Travel Guide - Canada Exceptional Moments
Halifax is the capital city of Nova Scotia and the largest city in the Atlantic Provinces of Canada. The city's origins and rich maritime history derive from a strategic location and one of the world's great natural harbours. In the 19th and early 20th century, Halifax was the entry point for European immigration to Canada. Today, Halifax is a busy Atlantic seaport and the economic and cultural hub of Eastern Canada.
Halifax is the provincial and regional hub of Nova Scotia. It is still, however, a smaller city by North American standards. Rather than feeling relegated to 'second-fiddle' status, this dichotomy is celebrated by residents who take pride in their slower pace and warm hospitality.
The city of Halifax is on Halifax Peninsula, on the west side of the harbour, with Dartmouth to the east. The main landmark is the Halifax Citadel, on a high hill above the city, and it conveniently divides the city into three districts: the South End, representing the older, wealthier urban core south of the Citadel; the North End, the grittier northern suburbs destroyed by the Explosion; and the largely residential West End.
The suburban areas of Halifax extending beyond the Peninsula are referred to as Mainland Halifax, and include neighbourhoods such as Spryfield and Clayton Park. North of the Peninsula is the Bedford Basin, an inland body of water that once served as a marshalling point for convoys of ships crossing the Atlantic Ocean during World War II. At the head of the Basin is the community of Bedford.
Halifax has a tendency to sprawl somewhat outside of the downtown core. Although Halifax has an extensive public transit service, it tends to be focused on commuters and shoppers, and may not be ideal for tourists traveling outside of downtown. The downtown shopping and attractions will engage the average traveler for a day or two at most. Beyond this time frame, a car rental will significantly open up the surrounding area.
Halifax's tourism industry showcases Nova Scotia's culture, scenery and coastline. There are several museums and art galleries in downtown Halifax. The Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21, an immigrant entry point prominent throughout the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, was opened to the public as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1999 and is the only national museum in the Atlantic provinces. The Maritime Museum of the Atlantic is a maritime museum containing extensive galleries including a large exhibit on the famous Titanic, over 70 small craft and a 200-foot (61 m) steamship CSS Acadia. In summertime the preserved World War II corvette HMCS Sackville operates as a museum ship and Canada's naval memorial. The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia is housed in a 150-year-old building containing over 9000 works of art. The Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia in Dartmouth reflects the region's rich ethnic heritage.
Halifax has numerous National Historic Sites, most notably Citadel Hill (Fort George). Just outside the urban area, the iconic Peggys Cove is internationally recognized and receives more than 600,000 visitors a year. The waterfront in Downtown Halifax is the site of the Halifax Harbourwalk, a 3-kilometre (2 mi) boardwalk popular amongst tourists and locals alike. Many mid-sized ships dock here at one of the many wharfs. The harbourwalk is home to a Halifax Transit ferry terminal, hundreds of stores, Historic Properties, several office buildings, the Casino Nova Scotia, and several public squares where buskers perform, most prominently at the annual Halifax International Busker Festival.
Downtown Halifax, home to many small shops and vendors, is a major shopping area. It is also home to several shopping centres, including Scotia Square, Barrington Place Shops, and Maritime Mall. Numerous malls on Spring Garden Road, including the Park Lane Mall, are also located nearby. The area is home to approximately 200 restaurants and bars, offering a wide array of world cuisines. Halifax hosts a wide variety of festivals that take place throughout the year, including the Atlantic Film Festival, the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo, the Halifax International Busker Festival, Greekfest, the Atlantic Jazz Festival, the Multicultural Festival, the largest Canada Day celebration east of Ottawa, Natal Day, the Halifax Pop Explosion, periodic Tall Ship events, Nocturne Festival, and Shakespeare by the Sea.

Rebecca Hannon: Nocturne at the Museum
This Saturday October 16th Rebecca Hannon and her group of NSCAD students will be presenting their project for Nocturne, Halifax's evening of art, from 6-12. Their inspiration comes from the Halifax Explosion and will be projected on the Museum's ship CSS Acadia along with an audio component.
As part of this event the museum's Halifax Explosion exhibit will be open to visitors, and interpreters will be on-site. In case of rain the event will move into the museum's small craft gallery.
