Then, travel along the Evangeline Trail to Grand Pre National Historical Site where the Memorial Church stands as a memorial to the Acadians and houses an exhibit on the deportation of these people. This story has been immortalized in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's epic poem, Evangeline, for which stands a statue in the middle of this 20-acre garden. Upon arrival in Halifax, visit the Fairview Lawn Cemetery, burial place of the Titanic victims. After checking into your hotel, enjoy a delicious dinner, followed by a restful evening. Day 4 - This morning you will depart for the picturesque village of Peggy's Cove where you will enjoy breakfast.

Peggy's Cove Light is an old lighthouse standing on a massive granite ledge and serves as Canada's only post office located in a lighthouse. In the afternoon you will enjoy a city tour of Halifax which will include the Citadel National Historic Site. This fort was completed in 1856 and stands as a reminder of Halifax's role as a key naval station in the British Empire. After your visit, depart for the Halifax Public Gardens, the oldest and finest formal Victorian garden in North America. This 17-acre garden began as a private garden in 1753 and was developed into its present layout in 1875. This evening enjoy another delicious dinner in Halifax.

Day 6 - After breakfast, you will explore one of nature's magnificent regions, the stunning Cabot Trail, which was named for famous explorer John Cabot. The Trail winds around the rocky splendor of Cape Breton's northern shore, ascending to the incredible plateaus of Cape Breton Highlands National Park. The highway is carved into the sides of mountains that rise high above the shimmering waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Lookouts offer unforgettable vistas of the rugged coastline where pods of whales can often be seen just offshore and bald eagles soar aloft on the ocean breezes. Your day will end with dinner at the hotel. Day 7 - Following breakfast, check out and depart for Prince Edward Island. Board the ferry to cross the Northumberland Strait into Canada's smallest province. Upon arrival, head for Charlottetown for a city tour.

  • Halifax, Nova Scotia and the Maritimes Have to Offer”
    Quoted by Bob: “As with snowflakes, no two sightseeing tours are ever exactly the same, there's a personal touch added to each trip. Our tours are not of the "cookie cutter" variety - we're "home-made" and unique! All our tours will give you the very best sightseeing Halifax, Nova Scotia and the Maritimes have to offer”. That is the truth. There is no way that we could have planned this trip on our own. Bob made us feel very comfortable as passengers, the sightseeing was amazing, the meals and lodgings were great. Bob’s knowledge of area history, his personal stories and insights and great sense of humor left never a dull moment. We had so much fun it should have been illegal. In short Sheri and I both say “Bob’s our Uncle” and would not hesitate to hire or recommend Blue Diamond Tours in the future. The photograph above - Blue Diamond Tours is operated by THAT GUY in the tie. Day Zero – The Grand Arrival - July 4th 2012 The first leg of our flight was to depart Grande Prairie to Calgary at 7:00 am. The time shift from Chetwynd to Halifax is 4 hours and 3 hours from Grande Prairie. Our flight was delayed by about a ½ hour. That being said when we departed in Calgary the final boarding call for Halifax was being announced. No time to grab a bite or Pee – Just run. The flight to Halifax (4 ½ Hours) was mostly uneventful. Using a bathroom on a plane is slightly nicer than using an outhouse on the prairies – it smells better and lacks flies.

  • Nova Scotia (New Scotland) Was Originally Inhabited by the Mi'kmaq
    Nova Scotia (New Scotland) was originally inhabited by the Mi’kmaq (Mi’gmaq/Micmac) Peoples. They are considered First Nations people indigenous to Canada’s Atlantic Provinces. According to W.E. deGarthe, the forests and trees are gone today. Even the once rich soil has been swept away by wind, rain and clearing by settlers. Early in the 1600s, European settlers arrived in the Halifax region. They established Acadia. The British settled Halifax in 1749 and set up a fort to guard against the Mi’kmaq, Acadians and French. During the 1750s, St. Margaret’s Bay (Peggy’s Cove) was first settled by the French. In 1811, a grant was issued by the Province of Nova Scotia to six families of Peggy Cove. Governmentally, Halifax has gone through three changes. In 1749, it was the Town of Halifax. In 1842, it became an incorporated city. On April 1, 1996, Nova Scotia dissolved the City of Halifax and combined four municipalities within the County of Halifax into Halifax Regional Municipality. It is the largest city in Nova Scotia with a metro population nearing 500,000 people. Halifax, as a seaport, played a key role throughout the history of Canada and the United States. In April of 1912, during recovery efforts following the sinking of the RMS Titanic, Halifax became the mortuary and identification center. Of the 2,224 passengers and crew, 1500 people perished. Only 330 bodies were recovered. 150 bodies are buried in three local cemeteries. The remainder were returned to relatives/family. There are many interesting facts regarding the handling of bodies and the role of the White Star Line, owner of the Titanic.

  • Tourism Background the Nova Scotia Tourism Agency State in Their Document ‘A Tourism Strategy for Nova Scotia’ the ‘Tourism Is a $2 Billion Industry in Nova Scotia
    Plan Review Background Paper Background Paper Number: 10 Planning & Development Department Date: March 2015 Tourism Background The Nova Scotia Tourism Agency state in their document ‘A Tourism Strategy for Nova Scotia’ the ‘Tourism is a $2 billion industry in Nova Scotia. It provides 24,000 jobs that support families in every region of the province.’ Tourism is a vital contributor to the economy in all parts of the province including East Hants. Tourism has some tremendous potential to stimulate economic development in East Hants. This is especially true in our rural communities which, like similar areas across the country, are facing challenges which threaten their very survival. Tourism often is the last remaining business opportunity which can hold our rural communities together and help ensure sustainability. In 2009 the Municipality developed a Tourism Strategy which explores ways to encourage and support a healthy tourism sector. It is anticipated that in 2015/16 the Municipality will review the Tourism Strategy. That strategy will take account of the Economic Development Strategy currently being prepared by Lionsgate. East Hants has been blessed with many natural tourism assets and we have some unique world class attractions and all of these assets and attractions creates a draw for visitors. The tourism strategy was developed to use the key or premier attractions, especially the more unique ones, to create niche and broader market draws for the municipal wide tourism product. The premier tourism attractions have been grouped as follows: 1. Tidal Bore Rafting 2. The Bay of Fundy Experience 3. Festivals & Special Events 4. Heritage and Culture Attractions Public Consultation Responses Question 12 of the Community Goals Survey asked ‘is it important to control development to ensure the tourism potential of scenic areas?’ A strong majority of respondents (82.2%) agreed that it is important to control development to ensure the tourism potential of scenic areas, with 11% of respondents indicating that they don’t know.
