The
province of Nova Scotia offers an ideal blend of affordable housing, uncongested
living, beautiful land and seascapes, benign weather and modern infrastructure.
It boasts a population that is famous for its warmth and character, proud of its
cultural heritage and quick to welcome newcomers with open arms.
Anchored by the city of Halifax and the surrounding Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM), this modern city of 400 thousand people has all the conveniences expected of a provincial capital including world class hospitals and 3 universities. And in 2011, the Canada Games held in NS, provided new facilities throughout NS including a new, outdoor skating oval located at the Halifax Commons and a 4 rink skating complex in Bedford.
Unique to most of Canada, HRM residents live and commute from a mix of rural and urban housing that include lakefront and oceanfront properties at affordable prices. Where else can residents commute to and from their waterfront properties or large rural lots to work or school? Further good news for the economy, Halifax has recently been awarded the $25 billion contract to build new vessels for the Canadian navy, that will attract high tech and skilled workers to the city for the next 30 years.
There
are sandy beaches and spectacular elevated ocean vistas along the shores of the
Atlantic ocean while the urban landscape is pocked with a number of
freshwater lakes, both large and small.
And if you wish to leave the confines of the ‘city’, wilderness, farmscapes and
seascapes are never far away.
Voted the world’s best vacation island and boasting one of North Americas most scenic drives (Cabot Trail), Cape Breton Island is easily reached on modern and uncrowded highways.
