What is the capital of Nova Scotia?

Halifax is the capital of Nova Scotia, a province on the Atlantic coast of Canada. It is the largest city in the whole of Atlantic Canada and serves as the main economic and cultural hub for the region. Nova Scotia itself is a relatively small province, mostly a peninsula reaching out into the Atlantic Ocean.

Halifax owes its existence to its harbour. It sits on one of the largest and deepest natural harbours in the world, a sheltered, ice-free body of water that ships can use all year round. The British founded the city in the eighteenth century precisely because of this harbour, and for a long time Halifax served as an important naval base.

Because of its harbour and its position facing the Atlantic, Halifax has always been a city of the sea. It remains one of Canadas most important ports, handling cargo ships and serving as a gateway between Canada and the wider Atlantic world. Its history, its economy, and its identity are all tied to the ocean at its doorstep.
