Halifax, with around 90,000 is as the capital of Nova Scotia not only its economic and cultural center, but also also of the whole of the Atlantic region of Canada. In 1749 the British chose the ice-free and strategically situated bay to establish a fort. Directly on the pier of the city exploded in 1917 the ammunition freighter Mont Blanc after the collision with a Norwegian freighter. The detonation was the largest that had ever taken place anywhere up to that time

Halifax lives by its natural harbor, an estuary reaching 16 kilometer deep into the country. At the center of downtown Halifax is the Grand Parade, a small park.
