Ok, so I'm very bored and I decided to show you guys just a few little bits of Halifax. These arn't photos that I've personally taken but I think I chose some good ones.
Some facts: Halifax has 7 universities, 8 hospitals (IWK Children's Hospital is one of North America's top ten) and 171 parks, and 370,000 residents.
An international city ranked as one of Canada's top 5 'Smart Cities'. Canada's second largest scientific center after Ottawa. Has the World's third largest Oceanographic Institute, The Bedford Institute of Oceanography.
Halifax has the highest number of bars per capita of any city in Canada.
Average Winter Temperature: 22 degrees F. Average Summer Temperature: 65 degrees F. (see.. not THAT cold!).
This is part of Downtown Halifax if you are looking at it from the Dartmouth side of the Harbour:
Another view of Halifax from Darthmouth:
Citadel Hill, which is located in the middle of downtown Halifax. The fortress was completed in 1856. They still fire a cannon at noon everyday:
The town clock (1803) located at the base of the hill:
View of Halifax from the top of Citadel hill:
The Public Gardens is 16 arces of gardens in the middle of Halifax and is a very relaxing place to spend a day.
Point Pleasent Park was leased to the province of Nova Scotia from the crown in 1866 for 999 years at one shilling per year. From 1749 until 1866 it was primarily used by the military. The park is 185 acres.
One of the forts in the park:
Halifax City Hall:
My favorite building in Halifax. It used to be a building but now it is just the front of the building. If you go through the front door you come into a grassy courtyard where the interoir of the building used to be.
The Halifax Armoires.. where they keep all the guns...
Sir Sanford Flemming Park memorial tower:
Was built in 1912, stands to commemorate the first Legislative Assembly in Halifax in 1758. Is supposedly haunted. Sir Sanford Fleming built the Intercolonial Railway and much of the Canadian Pacific Railway. He also developed the system of Standard Time Zones which is used throughout much of the world today.
There is a million more things I could show you guys but I don't have enough time to look up pictures of my favorite places. I love this city and I don't think I ever relized it until a few months ago. I'd strongly urge anyone who wants to travel to Canada to come here!
