Lighthouse Route Lighthouse Route Halifax to Chester The first leg of your journey will take you southwest along Highway 333 to Whites Lake, on your way to Peggy's Cove's timeless beauty. Continue on Route 3 until you enter Lewis Lake Provincial Park, which is just before Upper Tantallon. Since the mid-nineteenth century, Hubbards, a full- service community at the mouth of St. Margaret's Bay, has been a popular tourist destination. Before arriving in East River, the Lighthouse Route takes you along the Aspotogan Peninsula's ruggedly beautiful coastline, passing through small coastal villages like Blandford, Bayswater, and Northwest Cove. The Lighthouse Route continues to Chester, a historic seaside town known for sailing, tennis, stately homes, studio galleries, and a laid-back attitude. Chester is also the starting point for a trip to the Tancook Islands at the mouth of Mahone Bay, one of Nova Scotia's hidden gems. From Chester, a passenger ferry service operates for 8 kilometres (5 miles) to the islands of Big Tancook and Little Tancook. Driving Distance – 138 KM Chester to Bridgewater (via Lunenburg) Today's colour and coastal elegance will not let you down. The Lighthouse Route continues to Martin's River, where an elegant shoreline park provides spectacular views of the bay and its islands. The Lighthouse Route continues on Route 3 to Mahone Bay from here. The view will entice you to pull over, park your car, and take a walk along the water. A exclusive array of studios and galleries of some of Canada's finest artists and craftspeople, specialty and general- needs shops, a bar, restaurants and cafes, and a visitor information centre line the narrow streets. The Lighthouse Route continues along the scenic coastline to Lunenburg, one of Nova Scotia's most historically significant and beautiful cities. Lunenburg's vibrant waterfront, winding streets, and captivating architecture evoke the town's maritime history. C ontinue on the Lighthouse Route to Bridgewater, a bustling town on the LaHave River's western bank. Bridgewater, also known as the "Main Street of the South Shore," provides a variety of services and amenities to locals, including restaurants, lodging, a bustling mall, banks, hospitals, museums, recreational facilities, and a visitor information centre. Driving Distance – 55 KM Bridgewater to Liverpool Since you only have a short distance to travel today, we recommend that you spend some time in Bridgewater before leaving. The DesBrisay Museum, which is located on a 10-hectare (25- acre) parkland, has exhibits about Lunenburg County's past. The Wile Carding Mill, which was built in 1860 and houses the original carding machines, is now a provincial museum. The Halifax & Southwestern Railway Museum preserves the South Shore's rich and colourful railway heritage. Turn right before entering LaHave to visit the Fort Point Museum, which is a former lighthouse keeper's house and is part of the Fort Sainte-Marie-de-Grace National Historic Site. The Port Medway Lighthouse Park, the Old Meeting House Museum, and the Medway Head 2074 Steeles Avenue E, Unit 1 & 2, Brampton, ON, L6T 4Z9 Phone: (416) 425 8001 | E-mail: [email protected] Tico License # 50011535 Lighthouse are among the attractions in Port Medway. Mill Village is a charming town at the mouth of the Medway, one of Nova Scotia's best whitewater rivers for canoeing and kayaking. To get to Beach Meadows, continue along this scenic coastal loop. Brooklyn is the next stop on the way to Liverpool. The Lighthouse Route continues on to historic Liverpool, North America's privateering capital. Liverpool, located at the mouth of the Mersey River, offers a diverse range of attractions, waterfront trails, art galleries, and gift shops. Driving Distance – 75 KM Liverpool to Shelburne This day begins with one of three off-route explorations: visiting the village of Port Mouton for white sand beaches, Port Joli for sand dunes and coastal forest exploration, or Port L'Hebert for hiking the scenic trails of Thomas Raddall Provincial Park. You can't go wrong by visiting these Nova Scotian secret gems. Following that, you'll travel along the Lighthouse Route until you reach Lockeport, which is known for its fine white sand beaches. Returning to the Lighthouse Path, your next stop will be Shelburne, a town known for its rich history and picturesque charm. Driving Distance – 156 KM Shelburne to Yarmouth Barrington Bay's eastern shore is skirted by the Lighthouse Path. Sand Hills Beach Provincial Park provides a stunning natural setting with two curved beaches, one leading to the other, if you're ready to stretch your legs. Barrington, an attractive village with many historic attractions, is your next stop. The Lighthouse Route continues to Barrington Passage's busy service centre, where it turns left onto Route 330 to Cape Sable Island. Returning to the road, ascend the Chapel Hill Museum's tower in Shag Harbour for a panoramic view of the sea and outlying islands. Off Route 3 to the left, Route 335 leads to the French• speaking communities of West Pubnico, Middle West Pubnico and Lower West Pubnico. A 1.5-kilometer (1-mile) interpretive trail runs through the Goose Creek Marsh wetlands conservation area on Roberts Island. The Lighthouse Route leads to Tusket along the beautiful coast. Pinkney's Point, a prosperous small Acadian fishing village on a peninsula, has remnants of Acadian dykes off Route 334. The Butte-de-la-Croix in Wedgeport is a historic site commemorating the first mass held here for the returning Acadians in 1769. Appropriately, the Lighthouse Route ends at one of Nova Scotia's most dramatic and historically important lighthouses. The Yarmouth Light is located on Cape Forchu, a rocky outcropping named by Samuel de Champlain in 1604. Driving Distance – 156 KM Yarmouth to Digby As you leave Yarmouth and head north, the Lighthouse Route becomes the Evangeline Trail. A few kilometres south of Yarmouth is Sandford, a small picturesque fishing village with a picturesque harbour spanned by the world's smallest wooden lift-bridge. A picnic area by a beautiful beach can be found at Port Maitland Beach Provincial Park. Enjoy your drive along Route 1, which runs between Beaver River and St. Bernard and passes through twelve 2074 Steeles Avenue E, Unit 1 & 2, Brampton, ON, L6T 4Z9 Phone: (416) 425 8001 | E-mail: [email protected] Tico License # 50011535 picturesque French-speaking villages. Mavillette Beach Provincial Park, located off Route I in Mavillette, is one of the region's most common sand beaches. I'Eglise St. Alphonse, located in the village of St. Alphonse, is one of the most charming Acadian churches along this coast. Smugglers Cove Provincial Park, located further along the Evangeline Trail, is a beautiful spot for a picnic lunch, with stunning views of the coastal cliffs and St. Mary's Bay. Grosses Coques is named for the massive clams that can be found there, which are said to be the biggest on the east coast. Local residents built an awe-inspiring granite church in St. Bernard, which seats 1,000 people, between 1910 and 1942. Weymouth, a quiet town on the Sissiboo River with lumbering origins, was established in 1783 by United Empire Loyalists. A restored lighthouse at Gilbert Cove offers picnic facilities as well as panoramic views of the bay in all directions. You arrive in Digby, which is home to one of North America's largest scallop fleets, harvesting the world-famous Digby scallop. Long and Brier Islands, off the end of Digby Neck, are worth a visit and can be reached by short ferry rides. If you're driving down the Neck, make a stop in Tiverton to walk the 2.5-kilometer path to Balancing Rock, Long Island's most photographed basalt formation. Driving Distance – 145 KM Digby to Annapolis Royal Make Smith's Cove your first stop on your way to Annapolis Royal today if you're continuing on Route 1. Cornwallis, where the military museum is worth a visit, is also on the Evangeline Trail. The old church of St. Edward, which was consecrated in 1797 and is now a museum, is located just off the Evangeline Trail in Clementsport. Visitors with children can pay a visit to Upper Clements Park in Upper Clements, where they can find entertainment for children of all ages. The Evangeline Trail's next stop is Annapolis Royal, which has a captivating mix of heritage and elegance that has made it a famous stopping point. The town has over 150 heritage houses, including the deGannes-Cosby House, which was built in 1708 and is Canada's oldest wooden house. The Adams-Ritchie House (1712) and the Runciman House (1712) are two other historic houses in town (1817). The Annapolis and Allain River mouths are visible from Fort Anne National Historic Site. The fort has well-preserved earthen fortifications, an officers' quarters museum, and a gunpowder magazine. After visiting Fort Anne, take a stroll down lower St. George Lane, Canada's oldest town street. Driving Distance – 64 KM Annapolis Royal to Wolfville Route 1, the Evangeline Trail, follows the north side of the river in this section of the Annapolis Valley, while Route 201 follows the south side. Consider heading to Port Royal and then driving a short distance to Delap's Cove, where excellent hiking trails lead along the rocky splendour of the Bay of Fundy shore to a beautiful 13 m (43 ft) waterfall. C ontinue on the Evangeline Trail to Bridgetown, a quaint small town with colourful shops, lodging, and a variety of services. A road leading north off Route 1 from Bridgetown leads through North Mountain to the Bay of Fundy, which is 10 kilometres (6 miles) away.

  • Fish Culture Development
    FISH CULTURE DEVELOPMENT A Report of the Fish Culture Development Branch of the Conservation and Development Service , 1950 Reprinted from the Twenty.-first Annual Report of the Department of Fisheries of Canada FISH CULTURE DEVELOPMENT ITH fisheries, as with other natural resources capable of self-perpetuation, W conservation is of prime concern. Since fish is a "free" resource, man may catch too many, and deplete the stocks to a point where fishing is no longer profit, able. Therefore, controls are necessary to permit the fisherman to take the maxi­ mum catches on a continuing year after year basis. In the broad analysis Canada follows two definite courses of conservation: 1. The enforcement of various types of catch restrictions to ensure sufficient natural seeding for a sustained maximum yield. 2. To apply where possible, cultural methods of all types both to improve environmental conditions for natural propagation and also to use artificial methods in cases where an aid is needed. The Department's work in this connection is carried out by the newly-formed Conservation and Development Service. One branch of the Service-the Protec­ tion Branch-directs the work of the Protection Officers on both coasts. Another branch of the Service-the Fish Culture Development Branch-is responsible for the construction of fishways to enable fish to by-pass darn:s and fqr the maintenance of hatcheries to re-stock waters in federally administered areas. These two services are closely integrated. The Protection Officers enforce the regulations pertaining to restricted areas, closed seasons, limitations in location and types of gear.

  • Grand Nova Scotia Tour
    Grand Nova Scotia Tour Halifax to Liverpool Leave Halifax behind and travel south to Peggy's Cove, where your tour of Nova Scotia will begin. This is one of Canada's most photographed locations. The graceful lighthouse sitting high upon the smooth wave-worn granite of the coast once did duty in the summer months as Canada's only post office in a lighthouse. The South Shore takes you across a landscape that is both beautiful and historic. The narrow streets of Mahone Bay are lined with a unique array of studios and galleries belonging to some of Canada's most talented artists and craftspeople. Drive to the other side of the inlet to see another famous picture spot: Mahone Bay's three churches lined up along the inlet's banks. Continue to Lunenburg, where the town's seafaring history is reflected in the colourful coastline, narrow streets, and captivating architecture. The popular racing schooner "Bluenose," which is featured on the Canadian ten-cent item, is based in Lunenburg. The journey concludes in Liverpool, North America's privateering capital, situated at the mouth of the beautiful Mersey River. Driving Distance – 147 KM Liverpool to Yarmouth Take a trip out to Fort Point Lighthouse Park before leaving Liverpool this morning. Travel south on Highway 103 after leaving Fort Point Lighthouse and through the province's scenic countryside. Until arriving in Yarmouth for the night, make stops in Sable River, East Jordan, Shelburne, Barrington, Shag Harbour, Tusket, and Wedgeport. This tour will take approximately two and a half hours to complete and will provide you with access to rich history, many historic sites, lighthouses, and Acadian history.
