CSS Acadia

Le CSS Acadia est un ancien navire océanographique et hydrographique de la Commission hydrographique du Canada et son successeur, le Canadian Hydrographic Service (en). Aujourd'hui, il s'agit d'un navire musée, désigné lieu historique national du Canada, amarré dans le port d'Halifax au Musée maritime de l'Atlantique de Halifax. Histoire L'Acadia a servi le Canada pendant plus de cinq décennies, de 1913 à 1969, en traçant les côtes de presque toutes les parties de l'est du Canada, y compris des relevés novateurs de la baie d'Hudson. Il a également été affecté à deux reprises à la Marine royale canadienne (MRC) en tant que NCSM Acadia, le seul navire encore à flot à avoir servi pendant les deux guerres mondiales. En conservant ses moteurs d'origine, ses chaudières et ses logements peu modifiés, ce navire est l'un des navires à vapeur de l'Époque édouardienne les mieux conservés au monde et un exemple reconnu des plus anciennes prouesses scientifiques du Canada dans les domaines de l' hydrographie et de l'océanographie. Le dernier Bosun connu sur ce navire peignait des petites figurines pendant ses temps libres issues d'un monde fantastique. On dit même que le magasin du bosun était rempli de ces minuscules créatures peintes à la main.

Canada Games Centre

The Canada Games Centre was built for the 2011 Canada Winter Games in Clayton Park, a suburb of Halifax, Nova Scotia. It was the venue for the artistic gymnastics, badminton, and synchronized swimming competitions. It is now used as a fitness, swimming, track, basketball, and yoga recreation facility. History The Canada Games Centre replaced the nearby Northcliffe swimming pool and community centre, which was aging and offered fewer facilities, but garnered criticism that the higher membership fees priced some community members out, many seniors in particular. The complex cost about C$45 million and was designed by DSRA Architecture of Halifax. It opened in January 2011. In 2026, Manulife, an insurance company, bought naming rights to the Canada Games Centre for a 10-year period. As a result, there is a plan to rename the building as "Manulife Recreation Centre". Design and facilities The Manulife Recreation Centre has a floor area of approximately 176,000 square feet (16,400 m2). It contains a field house, running track, 25-metre pool, leisure pool, a fitness centre, multi-purpose rooms, cafes, and social spaces. The building is LEED Silver certified for its sustainable and resource-efficient features. The Canada Games Centre is located next to the newly built Lacewood Bus Terminal (08/2017), which provides transit service throughout the Halifax Regional Municipality. References
Emera Oval

The Emera Oval, originally known as the Canada Games Oval, is a permanent skating rink/speed skating rink installed in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on the Halifax Commons for the 2011 Canada Games. It is the size of three NHL hockey rinks. History and future In December 2010, the oval was opened to the public for public skates and skating lessons. The oval was used from February 12 to 16, 2011, for long track speed skating competitions. The oval hosted speed skating events in the Canadian Masters Championships, January 15–16, 2011 and the 2011 Canada Games, February 11–27, 2011. After initial delays opening, caused by unseasonably warm temperatures in Halifax, the oval opened to tremendous response from the community. Hundreds of people have come out each day, for free skating, with some estimates placing attendance as high as 2,000 people in a single day. The oval was slated to be removed in March 2011, but due to the overwhelming response, the fixture was made permanent. References External links Canada Games Oval Skate HRM

Casino Nova Scotia

Casino Nova Scotia is located in Nova Scotia, Canada, and has locations in Halifax and Sydney. Steelman Partners designed Casino Nova Scotia and its sister casino Sydney Casino. Halifax casino The Casino Nova Scotia opened a temporary location in the Sheraton Hotel Halifax on June 1, 1995. On April 24, 2000 it moved to a brand new, $100-million "Vegas-style" facility on the downtown Halifax waterfront. It was originally owned by Caesar's until October 2005, when Casino Nova Scotia was bought out by Great Canadian Gaming Corporation. When the Casino was sold to Great Canadian Gaming the affiliated Sheraton Hotel was sold separately to the Marriott Corporation. In 2007, workers at the casino voted in favor of organizing a labour union. The casino has 650 slots and table games. There is an attached 550-car parkade, including 14 wheelchair-accessible spaces. The casino is connected via pedway to the Marriott Halifax Harbourfront, formerly the Casino Nova Scotia Hotel and Sheraton Hotel Halifax. The pedway also connects to Purdy's Wharf, Scotia Square, and the downtown core. In January 2026, the provincial government announced that Great Canadian Entertainment plans to replace the Halifax casino with a new one in the Dartmouth Crossing suburban retail park. Restaurants and lounges There are several drinking and dining facilities in the casino, including nightly buffets and Sunday Brunch buffet in the 3Sixty Buffet Restaurant, casual dining and live entertainment in the 3Sixty Lounge, and concerts, conventions and other attractions in the Compass Room and the Schooner room. Structural engineering Engineered by BMR of Halifax, the casino has been described as one of the most complicated in the company's history. The size of the site meant that part of the building was built over water 21 metres (69 ft) deep (at its deepest point). Most of the land that the casino occupies had been created years earlier when that part of Halifax Harbour was infilled with loose rock and excavation material from other construction sites — reclaimed land was too soft to serve as a stable building foundation. BMR overcame the problem by engineering a design which incorporated driving caissons through the fill material and into the bedrock below. Then, using a specially designed doughnut-shaped pile cap as a support system, the engineers worked with the form work contractor to hang the casino's floor structure on the supporting caissons like a huge wharf. Sydney casino Casino Nova Scotia added a sister casino in Sydney on August 1, 1995. The casino, located on George St. in downtown Sydney, was constructed as an addition to the city's Centre 200.

Catcha Lake

Catcha Lake is a Canadian lake located in the central part of Nova Scotia's Halifax Regional Municipality. Gold mining Gold was discovered at Catcha Lake and was produced beginning in 1882 according to records by E Gilpin, according to a report to Charles E Church, Commissioner of Public Works And Mines (dated June 20, 1898). The report indicated that 20,734 tons of ore had been crushed to date, resulting in the recovery of 22,757 ounces of gold valued at that time at $19.00 per ton WJW. Today the Acadian Gold Corporation controls approximately 6.4 kilometres of strike length on this structure and is planning to drill for samples in the future .

Centre of Geographic Sciences

The Centre of Geographic Sciences (COGS) is a technical educational institution in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in the village of Lawrencetown. Part of the Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC), COGS is the largest geomatics education facility in Canada. History COGS traces its history to 1948 when the Nova Scotia Land Survey Institute (NSLSI) was established by Major J.A.H. Church (retired) as a training institution for survey and map production. NSLSI became a world leader in geomatics education during the 1970s and 1980s as it evolved into incorporating then-revolutionary technologies such as remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS). The institute moved into its current campus during this period in the 1970s. In 1986, NSLSI was renamed the College of Geographic Sciences (COGS) as a publicly funded training college under an act of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly. The name was considered to better reflect the diversity of geographic sciences taught at the NSLSI. In 1988, the provincial government undertook a much-needed reform to its training colleges and created the Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) system the following year. While still a separate college, COGS was administratively placed within the NSCC umbrella. In 1998 NSCC created the Annapolis Valley Campus by administratively combining the geographically separate campuses at Lawrencetown and Middleton. All geomatics advanced diploma programs were grouped under the Centre of Geographic Sciences (COGS), of which the majority are delivered at the Lawrencetown site (as the former Lawrencetown campus is now called). Organization COGS is divided into three departments: Geomatics Information Technology Applied Geomatics Research Group (AGRG) References External links Official website

Facilities Seating Capacity of 1625 Upstairs Lounge Overlooking Ice Surface Six Team Dressing Rooms Officials Room Medical Room Skate Shop/Pro Shop Canteen Renovations and development The Town of Truro and Municipality of Colchester County had agreed to co-operate in constructing a replacement stadium should the region win the right to be Nova Scotia's host community for the 2011 Canada Winter Games however the agreement was cancelled after Halifax won the right to be the host community. In 2008 Mayors from the county of Colchester and the Town of Truro signed a memorandum of understanding regarding stadium renovations and the construction of a new civic centre for the region. The project was expected to cost $33 million. $2.4 million was to be contributed from that total to stadium renovations. By February 2009 the Town of Truro informed customers of the stadium that renovations would begin in the summer months, but renovations to the stadium had not yet been approved. The Truro Bearcats played their first regular season game in the newly renovated stadium on September 12, 2009. The Bearcats paid tribute to the stadium and the renovation with presentations prior to the game, and went on to win the game 4-0. Federal funding for renovations to the Colchester Legion Stadium were invested in December 2009. Phase one of two in the renovation project had already been completed through the Summer. $855,000 was contributed. The Atlantic Canada Opportunity Agency (ACOA)'s Recreational Infrastructure Canada program under Canada's Economic Action Plan provided the funding. Renovations were then estimated to cost $2.65 million. As a result of renovations seating capacity was lowered from 2,200 seats to approximately 1600.

Cole Harbour (natural harbour)

Cole Harbour is the name for a natural harbour located in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. It is located in central Halifax County, with the mouth of the harbour located 6 kilometres northeast of Halifax Harbour. The entrance to Cole Harbour is protected by Rainbow Haven Beach, a barrier beach which forms a lagoon on the inland side. Measuring approximately 4 kilometres east to west and 3 kilometres north to south, the harbour is shallow and rocky. Virtually the entire shoreline and the harbour itself are protected by the provincial government as the Cole Harbour - Lawrencetown Coastal Heritage Provincial Park. The centre of the harbour is divided by a man-made feature; during the late 19th century a railway was constructed from Dartmouth to Musquodoboit Harbour and crossed the width of Cole Harbour on a 3 kilometre causeway. Rail service was abandoned by CN Rail during the 1980s and the corridor has been converted to a rail trail as part of the Trans Canada Trail. Part of the western shore of Cole Harbour was dyked during the 19th century to provide land for farmers. These structures were destroyed in the early 20th century and are now occupied by several residential homes along the Cow Bay road. This park features 7 main trails (7.9 km total) which highlight the area’s heritage and natural flora and fauna, as well as woodlands, fields and salt marsh shoreline. The trailhead and parking lot are located at 256 Bissett Road in Cole Harbour. The trails running from this main trailhead interconnect; each trail has its own character. The trails are open year-round (no winter maintenance) for all to explore the area’s wildlife, including bird watching, while hiking, cycling, skiing, and snowshoeing along the trails. The rails to trails corridor, Trans Canada Trail passes through Cole Harbour Heritage Park. The Cole Harbour Parks and Trails Association maintain the trails at the Cole Harbour Heritage Park and a portion of the Trans Canada Trail. Communities Communities along the shores of Cole Harbour from west to east include: Cow Bay Cole Harbour Upper Lawrencetown West Lawrencetown Naugle References
Connaught Battery

Connaught Battery is a World War I era harbour defence battery located north of York Redoubt at Ferguson's Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada. It took its name from the then Governor General of Canada, the Duke of Connaught, who was Queen Victoria's third son. Construction Built between 1912 and 1917 the battery was a part of Halifax Harbour's larger Defence Complex, which included other fortifications such as Fort George (Citadel Hill). Connaught Battery was the only new structure built by the military after 1905, with a grand total area of 2.5 hectares and a floor space of 447 sq. metres. Since its inception Halifax Harbour has always had strategic and commercial importance, Beginning in the colony's early days it was a well-fortified location. During the Second World War its defences included three 4.7-inch quick-firing guns. Today Today Connaught Battery is an abandoned complex, but open to the public to use as a municipal park. The cement casemates of the fort remain in good condition. References
Conrose Park

Conrose Park, also known as the Horsefield, is a Canadian urban park in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in the western area of the Halifax Peninsula. Park Located south of Jubilee Road, the park's western boundary is formed by the Canadian National Railway corridor running from Rockingham to the Halifax Ocean Terminal. As such, Conrose Field is an integral part of the proposed Halifax Urban Greenway multi-use hiking and biking trail. Conrose Park contains two tennis courts, a small baseball diamond, an open field and a small playground with play structures and swings. Vegetation in the park, particularly along the railway corridor, is largely composed of European pasture grasses and herbs. The explanation for the non-native species is due to their ability to withstand trampling and cutting from the heavy human use of the area. Native plant species can be found in more remote areas of the park and along the rock cut for the railway corridor. Day use Conrose is home to the Conrose Minor Baseball association, the Nova Scotia Rugby for the mini-rugby program and is also used by many other organized sporting groups. It is also a popular spot for walking dogs, and jogging. At any given time, people of all ages can be seen enjoying the park. After dark Over the years the park has been a popular spot for teens as a hang-out spot, and for pre-drinking before a dance, at times exceeding 100 youths. Many include local teens from the neighbourhood, others have been known to come from across peninsular Halifax, and beyond. This has led at times to vandalism and damage to the facilities at the park, and caused a great disturbance to area residents. Many holes have been cut in the fence along the tracks by youths seeking more privacy, and to quickly escape police. Popularity of the park fluctuates year by year, and on August 27, 2001 a news conference was held by former councillor Sue Uteck with representatives of the Halifax Regional Police and the local community to announce that the residents want to take back their park. Horsefield herbs Some of the herbs on the Horsefield include: Bent Kentucky bluegrass Annual bluegrass Red fescue Timothy Cocksfoot Couch Native poverty grass Ticklegrass Clovers Dandelions Mouse-ear hawkweed Knapweed Milfoil Creeping buttercup Stitchwort Mouse-ear chickweed Knotgrass References
Dartmouth Commons

The Dartmouth Commons is an approximately 120 hectares (300 acres) area of land set aside by the government in the late 18th century for the settlers common use in Dartmouth Nova Scotia, Canada. Much of it is maintained by the Halifax Regional Municipality. Today the most prominent area is called Leighton Dillman Park, named after a voluntary keeper of the garden.
