I could write a short story on this place and maybe I will one day but for now I'll suffice to say that if you are aware of this place it meets expectations 110%, if you're not aware of this place and you care about the welfare of animals and you love learning about how good people are trying to make a difference and help those that can't help themselves, you owe it to yourself to come here and learn. My 9 y/o is a huge fan of the show and not only did she get an experience of a lifetime, we were in the right place at the right time and she even got to meet Hope. I don't think the smile has left her face four days later...Hope in person is exactly as you'd expect and the fact that she has any time to do 'meet and greets' is incredible. The tour is free and very educational, the volunteers are knowledgeable and very friendly (thank you Sheila for sharing your experiences and knowledge with us!). Keep up the great work HFW!

Halifax residents should be very proud of this gem of a green space at the tip of the city. Wonderful walks, great vistas, lots of parking, Dog friendly and lots of off leash areas for the furry pals. Bouncing back nicely from the hurricane damage of Juan.

relaxing place to walk and or sit on a bench, quiet and beautiful, ponds and ducks galore with the flowers in full bloom, so pleasant and totally unexpected in the heart of the city, across from Lord Nelson hotel which made things very convenient for me, also only a 15 min walk to the harbour front,

McNabs Island is the largest island at the entrance of Halifax Harbour in Nova Scotia. Part of the McNabs and Lawlor Islands Provincial Park, McNabs Island is only a short boat ride from Halifax or Eastern Passage, but feels like a world away with its coluorful past and unspoiled natural beauty. The Friends of McNabs Island Society is a volunteer-driven registered charity that organizes island events, tours, and works to preserve and protect this spectacular island park for visitors to enjoy.

So there I am in Halifax, not a single rental car available. But I wanted to get out of the city. Found the departure point for the watertaxi next to the wave and for 20$ return they will get you there. A nice short scenic ride brings you to Garrison Pier. The Friends of McNabs have a very nice detailed map and are doing a great job to preserve the island. I hiked down towards the Maugers Beach Lighthouse, the access being a bit tricky because of the tides. Walked by Hangman’s Beach over to Fort McNab. Some of the secondary trails are a challenge, don’t expect a nicely groomed trail. Walked up to the Searchlights and then down to the beach at Wreck Cove. Lots of boats there, can be very busy and annoying. Then I went over to the northern part by the camp site and the former Tea House to Ives Cove and Fort Ives. All in all a good 20 kilometres, make sure to have bug spray, solid shoes and long pants, sometimes it’s like bushwalking and the Moskitos are just waiting there for you.

This is a great free outdoor skating area that makes its own ice. It is part of a large historical Commons. Great for walking in the city, also amateur sports on parts of it in the summer. Very close to the Historic Citadel and the downtown of Halifax.
