The entire length of Nova Scotia can be driven easily in a day.

NS is not an island,, could be driven in 10-12 hrs.

If you fly it takes 2 hours (but with time change it feels like 3).

To drive it takes 17 hours with no sleep. So about two days if you rest. My husband and I recommend stopping at the large Irving rest stop in New Brunswick and again for a nap once you are into Nova Scotia, if you are heading all the way to the south end (Ex. Digby).

far

Portland to Halifax 590 miles, Halifax to Yarmouth 230 miles, total 820 miles

The United Kingdom is 2,790 miles (4,490 kilometers) from Nova Scotia.

The Bay of Fundy is between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. However Nova Scotia is a peninsula (pin inch u la) and not an island. So we are not actually separated from the rest of Canada.

A peninsula is an area of land that is surrounded on all sides with water EXCEPT one little arm that connects it to main land. An island has no above water connections to other land masses.

It is about 5,890

The population for Nova Scotia is 940,000.

Peggy's Cove is popular as a very scenic tourism location, calendar photo, and for the SwissAir 111 crash off shore there in 1998. However Nova Scotia has much more than that to be famous for - to name just a few:

Joe Howe, the father of representative government in North America;

Sidney Crosby, the final goal scorer at the 2010 Olympics Gold Medal hockey game;

the highest daily tidal change in the world in the Bay of Fundy - up to 50';

Dalhousie University in Halifax;

Alexander Graham Bell did much of his work in Cape Breton, NS , most famously inventing the telephone but also for organizing the first powered flight in the British Empire;

Samuel Cunard ran his huge steamship line from Nova Scotia;

many of the recovered bodies from the Titanic are buried in Nova Scotia;

Halifax Harbour and the adjoining Bedford Basin was the staging area for all trans-Atlantic convoys of troops and supplies for both the WWI and WWII effort; it was also the site of the Halifax Explosion during WWI with remnants still visible;

Stanfield's Knitting Mills in Truro has supplied long-johns (and other garments) to Canadians for decades;

Nova Scotia had the first province-wide, all public safety agency, two-way radio system in North America;

and perhaps the most visible famous Nova Scotian is the schooner Bluenose which appears on the obverse of the Canadian dime and has been there for years - and she still sails every summer between Halifax and her home in Lunenburg.

the physical features of Canada is the Rocky Mountains, the Mackenzie Mountains, Hudson Bay, The Canadian shield, St.Lawrence River, Gulf of St. Lawrence, Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Ontario, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, Arctic Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Great Bear Lake, Great Slave Lake, Baffin Bay, and Labrador sea.

Google Maps estimates the driving time as 9 hours and 8 minutes.

-Coniferous (white pine, red spruce, red pine) mixed with Deciduous (sugar maple, red oak, yellow birch)

First off, Nova Scotia is not a nation, so it cannot have a national animal.

There is no official recognition of any animal as a Nova Scotia symbol, but unofficially, it would be the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.

they joined confederation because they were promised a railroad from nova scotia through to canada west....they would get extra defense from the other province....since america just stopped free trade theyd be able to trade with the other colonies....nova scotia was totally for confederation

Almost every country, has a natural resource. Nova Scotia has many natural resources this includes oil, natural gas, manganite, and fish.

Nova Scotia no longer has cities per say, but counties. Statistics Canada only has census figures for these counties. The four biggest ones are Halifax, Cap Breton,

Kings, and Colchester.

Statistics Canada 2013 estimate was 408,702 residents in the Halifax metro area. In 2011, Statistics Canada estimate that approximately 15% of the population that year was under 14 years old, while 13% was 65 years or older.

Baie Verte, part of the Northumberland Strait, lies between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. So does Chignecto Bay, and its extension, Cumberland Basin. I hope you didn't think the only answer would be the Bay of Fundy.

The first Europeans to colonize the territory that is now Nova Scotia and New Brunswick were the French, starting in 1608, who called it "Acadia." The British took over the territory in 1713 and renamed it "Nova Scotia," which means "New Scotland" in Latin. New Brunswick split away from Nova Scotia and became its own colony in 1784 after an influx of Loyalist refugees from the American Revolution settled there. Nova Scotia was also one of the first provinces in Confederation, when the remaining British Colonies in North America united to become what we know know as Canada in 1867

Only two states have legislated a specific age to leave a child home alone, Illinois and Maryland. Generally speaking, the child must be safe, must feel safe, and know how to take care of themselves in an emergency.
