More information about the video content bellow:
1. In 1605, French colonists established the first permanent European settlement in the future Canada (and the first north of Florida) at Port Royal, founding what would become known as Acadia. Beginning with King William's War in 1688, six wars took place in Nova Scotia before the British defeated the French (and ultimately expelled much of their population). Most of Acadia became part of Nova Scotia, but gradually Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick became separate colonies. Both Nova Scotia and New Brunswick were later part of the 4 founding provinces of the Dominion of Canada.
2. On the very southern tip of the Halifax peninsula there is a park called Point Pleasant, seems normal enough…. Well back when Canada was still under British control the crown leased the land known as Point Pleasant to the Nova Scotia government for 999 years. Even though Canada is now independent this contract still stands as Britain leasing the land to the Nova Scotia government. Therefore Britain still technically owns a small part of Canada to this day!
3. The city of Halifax has always been a hub since the province’s founding. This made the city one of Canada’s oldest population centres. The establishment of Halifax marked the beginning of Father Le Loutre's War. By unilaterally establishing Halifax, the British were violating earlier treaties with the native Mi'kmaq population and thus a 6 year war commenced.
4. During World War I two ships in Halifax harbour collided and caused a fire, one ship has a load full of gun powder and the other ship was carrying fireworks and tnt, the fire cause one ship to detonate resulting in the worlds largest explosion ever seen at this time (and second still today only to the atomic bomb!). The city was devastated and destroyed, 2,000 casualties, 9,000 injuries, the city was to be rebuilt but will never forget.
5. You must know about the sinking ship of Titanic. Do you know that 150 passengers in Titanic were buried in Halifax?
6. Charles Fenerty, a poet from Halifax was the first person to use wood fibres to make paper. He started experimenting in 1839 and produced paper from wood pulp in 1841. It was not until the introduction of wood pulp in 1843 that paper production was not dependent on recycled materials from ragpickers.
7. NS has an island just off its shores called sable island. Back in the 18th century a ship bringing horses to Halifax ran aground on the island and while the crew did not survive, the horses did and made it to safety. Since then the horses have flourished and evolved to survive, sable island horses are smaller than a normal horse and have a thicker coat.

Aspotogan Peninsula-2012-09-09
The Aspotogan Peninsula is a peninsula in the eastern part of Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia, situated between St. Margarets Bay in the east from Mahone Bay in the west. The peninsula was originally settled by second generation French immigrants on the east (St. Margarets Bay) side and by second generation German immigrants on the west (Mahone Bay) side. Traditionally fishing was a major industry for communities throughout the peninsula, however other primary industries such as farming and forestry were historically important as well. Shipping and shipbuilding were secondary and tertiary industries that also came into prominence during the 19th and early 20th centuries.

5 Top-Rated Tourist Attractions in Nova Scotia | Canada Travel Guide
5 Top-Rated Tourist Attractions in Nova Scotia
Pretty and peaceful, Nova Scotia is Canada's second smallest province, a peninsula on the eastern edge of the Canadian mainland. But its lengthy coastline is dotted with fishing harbors, sandy beaches, and plump islands. The scenery varies greatly, from the foggy Atlantic Ocean in the southeast to the tidal salt marshes of the Bay of Fundy in the west and Gaelic highlands of Cape Breton to the north. In these maritime latitudes, Nova Scotia has a pleasantly breezy if rather damp climate. Summer is bright and sunny, but weather conditions can often cause fog, with snow in winter.
Halifax is the capital and largest city. In 1604 the French, including Samuel de Champlain, settled the Annapolis Valley, founding Port-Royal, the first lasting European settlement north of Florida. They called it Acadia, a name that is now used to refer to all French settlement in the Maritimes. Here, five tourist attractions in Nova Scotia, Canada.
1. Cabot Trail
2. Peggy's Cove
3. Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site
4. Halifax Citadel National Historic Site
5. Cape Breton Highlands National Park

Swissair 111 Memorial, Whalesback Nova Scotia Canada
this is the memorial site for the men, women, and children lost in the Swissair 111 disaster on the 2nd of September 1998, off the coast at Whalesback Nova Scotia Canada
Two memorials to those who died on the crash have been established by the Government of Canada. One is to the east of the crash site at The Whalesback, a promontory one kilometre (0.6 mile) north of Peggys Cove. The second memorial is a more private but much larger commemoration located west of the crash site near Bayswater Beach Provincial Park on the Aspotogan Peninsula in Bayswater. Here, the unidentified remains of the victims are interred. A fund was established to fund maintenance of the memorials and the government passed an act to recognize them.
Hiking in Mactaquac Provincial Park: A Fun & Easy Day Trip From Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada!
Today we're taking you to Mactaquac Provincial Park in New Brunswick! This is a fun and easy day trip from Fredericton, just a 30-minute drive from the city. This summer we've been prioritizing adventures close to home and exploring our own backyard, so while we were visiting with Sam's parents in Fredericton, we drove out to Mactaquac for a day close to nature.
The nice thing about Mactaquac is that the trails are short and easy (the longest is 2.4 kilometres), which makes it very accessible to the whole family. We tackled Little Mactaquac Trail, Beaver Pond Trail, and Alex Creek Trail. We saw birds, frogs and even had a really cool encounter with a river otter.
After hiking all morning, we had lunch at MOCO, a restaurant located by the golf course in the park. Here we chowed down on poutine, burgers and fries, a seafood cheese melt, and a fettucini alfredo with shrimp and scallops.
It was a really fun day close to nature and we didn't have to travel that far! We hope you guys enjoy this video and get a little taste of what summer in New Brunswick is like.
