| Halifax, NS | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Halifax is a small city of under 200,000 people but is the biggest city in Atlantic Canada. It is a great place to visit. There is a large port, and many historic places(old stone buidings and churches) to see. Halifax has a large influence from Britain and Scotland, but now also has a multicultural influence. A lot of foreigners study there and make a living. You can eat at a Greek or Japanese restaurant, for example, or visit a store selling items from Scotland. This is an old town clock in the center of the city called the Citadel. It's on a hill which once served as the lookout for the British military in past conflicts. A soldier fort is still there now. You can go to the fort and view the whole city from on top of Citadel Hill. |
