Halifax

     We started our trip in Halifax Nova Scotia. Halifax is located 44.6700° N, 63.6100°W. 
     In 2011, Halifax census metropolitan area (CMA) had a population of 390 328 and a population density of 71 people per square km.

     Halifax is located in the atlantic Cordillia ecozone.  It is in the Atlantic Maritime landform region, which means the winters in Halifax are long and cold.  Temperatures in the winter average 0 to -15 degrees Celsius.  The summers are generally short and cool, with average temperatures of 20 to 25 degrees Celsius.   

   The main industries in Halifax are natural gas extraction, forestry, agriculture, mining and of course fishing.  Halifax has the second largest natural harbor in the world.

Kejimkujik National Park

   One of the things my family did in Halifax was taking a trip to Kejimkujik National Park which is on the Fundy shore.  It is 165.8 km from Halifax. It is the only inland national park in the Atlantic Maritime.  Kejimkujik is not only a national park, it is also a national historic site.  While we at Kejimkujik, we went swimming in the lakes, canoed and kayaked down the rivers and went on several hikes.  We also went on the Halifax Harbor Ferry, enjoyed a day at the Lawrencetown Beach, and visited Fisherman's Cove.  There are so many other things that we could have done in Halifax but we had to continue on our trip.
