On the Road: Nova Scotia

Pull up the screen and warm up the projector.  That's right, you're in for a treat: vacation slides from our recent trip to Nova Scotia!  I promise, there's just a few - hopefully enough to give you a taste of the adventure.  Anybody want some popcorn?

A couple of quick travel recommendations:

• If you should ever have the good fortune of finding yourself in the charming town of Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, the candlelight graveyard tour at Fort Anne is a must.
• By luck, we encountered First World War Comes to Life: 

"a fully-animated exhibit that explores the lesser known wartime contributions of the Canadian men and women who served beyond the trenches, both at home and overseas. From home front relief efforts and wartime production to frontline communications and medical aid, the exhibit offers a series of dynamic displays and activities for visitors to experience the sights, sounds and smells of a world behind the front lines."

The group will be making stops in Ottawa, Toronto, Niagara-on-the-Lake and Montreal later this summer.  For more information, click here.
