    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

    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.

  • 1 Lazuli Bunting Manuscript Review History Manuscript

    1 Lazuli Bunting Manuscript Review History Manuscript

    1 LAZULI BUNTING MANUSCRIPT REVIEW HISTORY MANUSCRIPT (ROUND 1) Abstract One hundred years after its sinking, the Titanic holds many in its thrall. If not quite a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, it continues to captivate consumers worldwide. This paper explores RMS Titanic from a cultural branding perspective, arguing that “the unfathomable brand” can be fruitfully examined through the ambiguous lens of literary criticism. Although brand ambiguity is often regarded as something to be avoided, this article demonstrates that ambiguity is a multi-faceted construct, five aspects of which are discernible in the brand debris field surrounding the totemic vessel. Combining empirical research and archival investigation, the article contends that ambiguity is a strength, rather than a weakness, of iconic brands like Titanic. This document is part of a JCR Manuscript Review History.
