Adams-Ritchie House

The Adams-Ritchie House is one of the oldest wood framed buildings in Canada. It is located in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, Canada and dates from 1713. Over the past 300 years, the building was expanded and embellished until the original building was completely hidden. In the 1980s, it was restored to its original appearance. Prior to 1749, the house occasionally hosted the Nova Scotia Council, the fore-runner of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly. History The building was built by John Adams, a native of Boston, Massachusetts in 1713. Adams was a member of the first Nova Scotia Council in 1720 and eventually became its President in 1740. In 1781, John Ritchie, acquired the property and probably added the second story. He was the local representative to the Nova Scotia House of Assembly. Ritchie was captured and held hostage by American Revolutionaries during the 1781 Raid on Annapolis Royal. His son Thomas Ritchie, who was a lawyer, judge also a member of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly, was raised in the house. Thomas' son, John William Ritchie, a Father of Canadian Confederation, was also born in the house. In 1881, Arthur King expanded the building again and lived at the house, in additional to running a retail outlet, photography shop and clothing factory.

Bonnett House

The Bonnett House in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, Canada is a historic house built around 1773, making it one of the oldest wood-frame houses in Canada. The building is a Georgian style and is largely unaltered since its original construction. The house is part of the Annapolis Royal Historic District. History The parcel of land on which the Bonnett House resides can be traced back to 1699, with the first known owner being Jean Chrysostome Loppinot, attorney-general of Acadia. At least two other dwellings were constructed on the land between 1699 and 1773, these structures being destroyed by fire in 1708 and, again, in 1710. By 1773, Pardon Sanders an artificer at Fort Anne, built the current house. The exact date has been confirmed through dendrochronology. In 1783, Sanders disposed of the property to Frederic Davoue, a Loyalist from New York, who quickly sold the house to merchant David Bonnett. Ownership was then transferred to his son Isaac Bonnett and later to another son, Peter Bonnett, High Sheriff of Annapolis Royal. In 1853, ownership was transferred to Charles Starratt. From 1930 until 1990, it was owned of the Burrell and related Brothers families. Today the house is used as an art gallery.

Saint Luke's Anglican Church (Annapolis Royal)

Saint Luke's Anglican Church is a historic church located in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, Canada. Constructed in 1815, the church served the British garrison stationed at Fort Anne until the garrison's removal to Halifax in 1854. The building is part of the Historic District of Annapolis Royal. History The first Saint Luke's Church in Annapolis Royal was erected in 1775 at the corner of Saint George and Church Street. It soon deteriorated and a new church was erected in 1815 at the current location. When the British garrison left in Fort Anne in 1854, the church interior was renovated, as it no longer needed to accommodate garrison soldiers. The church structure was further revised around 1874 and has remained relatively unchanged since then. As a Royal Foundation, the church has the right to display the royal coat of arms above the entrance. The Foundation status is due the original land grant from George III in 1814. The church has received numerous items of royal patronage since its inception, although some, including the Queen Anne silver communion service, were removed to Halifax when the garrison left.

Crescent Beach, Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia

Crescent Beach is a 2 km long, 40 to 65 m wide crescent-shaped beach, with white sand, not far from the community of LaHave and the town of Lunenburg (famous for the Bluenose schooner). Other nearby communities are Green Bay and Petite Riviere. The beach is known for its sandy dunes and windsurfing. The sand beach is separated from the tidal flats and salt marsh of Dublin Bay by sand dunes which rise in height from 2 m in the west to 6.8 m near the east end. A large wooden fence has existed between the beach and dunes since the 1930s. The Crescent Beach sand bar connects some of the LaHave Islands to the mainland. Prior to the construction of the paved road behind the dunes running the length of the backshore, the beach was primarily used as a path to and from George Island which is part of the LaHave Islands. Automobiles are permitted on the actual beach itself, something rare in Nova Scotia. References
Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History

Das Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History (Neuschottlandmuseum für Naturgeschichte) ist ein naturkundliches und archäologisches Museum in Halifax in der kanadischen Provinz Neuschottland. Es gehört zum System des Nova Scotia Museum. Das Museum reicht bis 1868 zurück. Die Sammlung des Halifax Mechanics Institute, so forderte das Institute of Science in Halifax, der Provinzhauptstadt, sollte in ein Museum eingehen. Im Oktober 1868 eröffnete damit das erste Museum in Neuschottland. Dabei wurden Artefakte der Mi’kmaq genauso ausgestellt, wie wissenschaftliche Apparaturen, Fossilien und Mineralien, Tiere, Malereien und Drucke. Mehrfach zog das Haus um, zunächst vom 1868 bezogenen Postamt 1898 ins Burns & Murray Building in der Hollis Street, dann 1910 in eine Abteilung des Nova Scotia Technical College Building in der Spring Garden Road. 1947 erhielt es den Namen Nova Scotia Museum of Science. 1970 wurde der heutige Standort in 1747 Summer Street bezogen, um dem größeren Platzbedarf zu entsprechen. Das Haus hatte die Aufgabe, die Natur- und die angewandten Wissenschaften zu repräsentieren sowie die menschlichen Aktivitäten in der Provinz. 1993 wurde die Museumslandschaft in Neuschottland umorganisiert, wobei das Museum in Halifax Bestandteil eines Netzwerkes von 27 Museen in der Provinz wurde. Dabei entstand das eigentliche Museum für Naturgeschichte mit seinen heutigen Schwerpunkten; die Verwaltungsabteilung der übergreifenden Organisation blieb im Hause. Das Haus besitzt sechs sogenannte Gallerys, nämlich für Archäologie, Botanik, Ethnologie, Geologie, Säugetiere und Vögel sowie eine für die Meereskunde. Im Nature Lab Museum können Besucher Experimente durchführen und die Vorhaben des Museums verfolgen. Die botanische Abteilung repräsentiert mehr als 60.000 Stücke, allein das Herbarium besitzt rund 20.000 vaskuläre Pflanzen, also solche mit Leitungsbahnen, und 25.000 nicht-vaskuläre Pflanzen, hinzu kommen 9.000 Fotos. Die geologische Abteilung weist über 9000 Mineralien auf, dazu etwa 20.000 paläontologische Funde, davon allein knapp 4.000 Tiere. Hinzu kommen 10 Meteoriten. Die zoologische Abteilung weist allein 300.000 Einträge auf. Die ethnologische Abteilung, die aus Traditionsgründen immer noch Teil der naturkundlichen Museenlandschaft ist, heißt nach einem Wort der Mi’kmaq Netukulimk. Sie wurde mit einem neuen Konzept im Juni 2011 eröffnet. Zudem besitzt das Haus eine Präsenzbibliothek. Weblinks Website des Museums Fußnoten

East Hants Aquatic Centre

The East Hants Aquatic Centre is a large swimming pool and recreation centre in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in the community of Elmsdale. Built to replace the old municipal pool in Milford, the aquatic centre opened to the public in July 2020. The centre suffered extensive damage during the 2023 Nova Scotia floods, and remained closed for repairs for an extended period. Description The East Hants Aquatic Centre is a large, modern facility in Elmsdale, located in the business park on Commerce Court. The 28,800 square foot building was designed by TEAL Architects in partnership with MJMA Architecture & Design, and was built for a total cost of CA$19 million. Two-thirds of this cost was covered by the Municipality of East Hants, while the federal government covered the remaining $5.8 million. The centre features six 25-metre swimming lanes, a waterslide, diving boards, a 20-person hot tub, a climbing wall, a lazy river, splash pads, and an outdoor splash park. In addition to swimming facilities, the aquatic centre also has a multipurpose room with a kitchen for accommodating recreation programs. History The aquatic centre was built to replace the old municipal pool in Milford. In 2015, the municipality announced a proposal to build the aquatic centre adjacent to the Elmsdale Atlantic Superstore in a partnership with Choice Properties REIT; they instead chose to build it in the Elmsdale Business Park, adjacent to the Lloyd E. Matheson Building. Construction of the East Hants Aquatic Centre began in May 2018, and was expected to be completed by fall of 2019. The centre officially opened on 22 July 2020, and a grand opening ceremony was held on 18 September 2020, attended by Warden Jim Smith and MP Kody Blois. The East Hants Aquatic Centre suffered extensive damage as a result of the 2023 Nova Scotia floods in July, during which 175–250 millimetres of rain fell in Elmsdale within a 12-hour timeframe. Several feet of stormwater accumulated in the basement of the aquatic centre, and several inches on the upper level. The basement of the centre contains the building's electrical equipment and mechanical systems, some of which was damaged beyond repair by the flood. Total costs for repairs exceeded CA$3 million. The aquatic centre re-opened to the public in July 2024. References External links Official website

Маяк Лоу-Пойнт

Маяк Лоу-Пойнт (англ. Low Point Lighthouse), известный также как маяк Флэт-Пойнт (англ. Flat Point Lighthouse), — маяк, расположенный на мысе Лоу-Пойнт на территории деревни Нью-Виктория на восточном входе в залив Сидни-Харбор, который служит естественной гаванью для города Сидни, графство Кейп-Бретон, провинция Новая Шотландия, Канада. Построен в 1832 году. Автоматизирован в 1988 году. Признан объектом исторического наследия в 2006 году. История Город Сидни был крупнейшим промышленным центром острова Кейп-Бретон в XIX веке (и остаётся им и по сей день), потому безопасная навигация до залива Сидни-Харбор, который служит для него естественной гаванью, была важна для всего острова. В 1832 году парламент Новой Шотландии одобрил петицию о строительстве маяка на восточном входе в залив Сидни-Харбор, и уже в ноябре этого же года строительство было завершено. Маяк представлял собой восьмиугольную деревянную башню, стороны которой были окрашены попеременно в белый и красный цвета, на вершине которой была фонарная комната Неподалёку также был построен деревянный дом смотрителя. Стоимость работ составила 770 фунтов. Оба названия мыса, но котором построен маяк Лоу-Пойнт и Флэт-Пойнт) хорошо отражают особенности местности: берег там действительно низкий и плоский, потому корабли могут сесть на мель, что делает наличие маяка в это точке важным для навигации. В 1833 году сильный порыв ветра сорвал крышу с маяка, и некоторое время маяк не работал. В 1877 году на маяк установили более просторную двенадцатигранную фонарную комнату. В 1903 году было построено дополнительное здание для противотуманного сигнала, стоимость здания и сигнала составила $4600. В 1908 году на маяке снова заменили фонарную комнату на круглую, а сам осветительный аппарат — на линзу Френеля третьего поколения. В 1915 году были проведены работы по защите маяка от эрозии. В 1938 было построено современное здание маяка, представляющее собой восьмиугольную белую бетонную башню высотой 22 метра. В 1953 году был построен дом помощника смотрителя и маяк был электрифицирован. В 1962 году был построен еще один дом для второго помощника смотрителя. По мере смены оборудования на более современное, надобность в помощниках отпала, и в 1977 году дом второго помощника был продан и вывезен со станции, а в 1987 году тоже случилось и с домом первого помощника. В 1988 году маяк был полностью автоматизирован. В 2006 году маяк был признан объектом культурного наследия. В 2017—18 годах его отреставрировали на собранные краудфандингом деньги. Примечания

Alexander Keith's Brewery

Alexander Keith's is a brewery in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev. The brewery was founded in 1820 by Alexander Keith who had immigrated from Scotland three years previously. In 1928, the business was sold to Oland Brewery, which was in turn sold to the Labatt Brewing Company. Following a number of mergers and acquisitions, Labatt's is now part of Anheuser-Busch InBev. Since 1928, parent companies kept the brand alive, and by the 1990s Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale (IPA) was the most popular beer in Nova Scotia. A number of other styles is also marketed. Although Alexander Keith products were originally produced in the Halifax brewery only for sale in the Maritimes, they are now produced at Anheuser-Busch InBev plants across Canada and America. Archived recipes for beer made by the Alexander Keith's Brewery in the early 1900s show high levels of hopping, with large all-malt mash ingredients and no use of corn, typical for beers of that time. In contrast, the modern beer marketed as Alexander Keith's IPA is only 5% alcohol by volume and lightly hopped, which does not meet the accepted criteria for an India pale ale. At the 2016 Canadian Brewing Awards, Alexander Keith's IPA won third place, not in the IPA category, but in the "North American Style Blonde or Golden Ale" category.

Alexander Keith's

Alexandre Keith's est une brasserie canadienne fondée en 1820 à Halifax en Nouvelle-Écosse par Alexander Keith, qui a émigré d'Écosse en 1817. Aujourd'hui, la brasserie est possédée par Labatt, une filiale d'InBev (anciennement Interbrew). Elle produit également les bières d'Oland, distribuées au Canada atlantique. En 2004-2005, Keith est bien connu au Canada anglophone pour ses films publicitaires à la télévision, où un Haligonien (citoyen d'Halifax) très patriote (avec kilt et accent écossais) s'indigne des renversements accidentels et du manque de bière Keith qu'il perçoit comme insultant. La bière la plus populaire de Keith's, et la plus distribuée, est la « bière blanche d'Inde » (India Pale Ale). Bien que ce ne soit pas une authentique IPA, ce nom légèrement exotique la rend plus attrayante, particulièrement en dehors de la Nouvelle-Écosse. La carrière d'Alexandre Keith comme homme politique et brasseur, et l'héritage écossais de la Nouvelle-Écosse sont employés pour lancer la bière. En 2002, Peter Kelly, maire de Halifax, a inclus une invitation à visiter Halifax dans chaque caisse de bière.

Alexander Keith's

Alexandre Keith's è un'industria produttrice di birra canadese, fondata da Alexander Keith nel 1820, emigrato dalla Scozia nel 1817, ad Halifax in Nuova Scozia. Oggi, l'industria della birra è posseduta da Labatt, una filiale di InBev (in passato Interbrew). Produce anche la birra Öland, distribuite in Canada. Nel 2004-2005, Keith è ben noto in Canada per le sue pubblicità in TV. La birra più popolare di Keith's, e la più distribuita, è la Birra bianca dell'India (India Pale Ale). Benché non sia una IPA autentica, questo nome leggermente esotico, la rende più attraente, particolarmente nella Nuova Scozia. La carriera di Alexandre Keith come politico e fabbricante di birra, e l'eredità scozzese della Nuova Scozia sono usate per lanciare la birra. Nel 2002, Peter Kelly, sindaco di Halifax, ha incluso un invito da visitare Halifax in ogni cassa di birra. La birra Keith è veramente una IPA (India Pale Ale)? Molti affezionati della birra fanno notare che la versione del Keith's in un IPA, la maggior parte delle qualità non corrispondono solitamente con lo stile: la percentuale dell'alcool è troppo bassa, risulta essere il 5% ABV(è un'indicazione di quanto alcool, espresso in percentuale è incluso in una bevanda alcoolica), contro i 5.5% - i 6.5% previsti, come il livello di amarezza dei luppoli, che risulta essere meno di 20 IBU (è la misura dell'amarezza di birra, che è fornita dai luppoli usati durante la fermentazione), contro il 40-100 previsti. Bisognerebbe notare che la birra Keith's era già stata introdotta nell'IPA, molto prima che lo stile dell'IPA, abbia guadagnato la popolarità nello stile storico per la fermentazione per far rivivere la birra. La vendita di Keith's dà risalto alla fedeltà e ai principi di fermentazione, è altamente improbabile però che la ricetta corrente abbia la rassomiglianza della versione originale del XIX secolo. Il nome suggerisce che la Keith originale è forte e inglese. La disputa per la relativa mancanza di rassomiglianza ad un IPA autentica, non toglie alla birra Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale, essere la più popolare della Nuova Scozia e la numero uno nei mercati del Canada.
