 Canadawithall Nova Scotia Destination Guide - Hotel Help in Nova Scotia Canada
The Maritime Provinces - Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island - are Canada's three smallest provinces, and their combined population of around one-and-three-quarter million has been largely confined to the coasts and river valleys by the thin soils of their forested interior real estate.
In Nova Scotia, the southwest coast does indeed have a clutch of quaint fishing ports, but it also harbours the busy provincial capital of Halifax, whilst Annapolis Royal, with its genteel mansions, is but a few kilometres from Port Royal and its reconstruction of the fort Samuel de Champlain built in 1605.
The character of Nova Scotia has been conditioned by the whims of the North Atlantic weather, a climate so harsh in wintertime that the seaboard Nova Scotian colonists of the eighteenth century earned the soubriquet "Bluenoses" for their ability to stand the cold.
