Halifax Pier 21: Visit the Canadian Museum of Immigration to learn about the history of Canadian immigration

I am OceanWaveTour + Global Traveler, please follow me! (Published in 57 countries/regions, 1015 cities across 5 continents, this is the 1782nd original travel photo story) There are many museums along the Halifax waterfront, and I recommend you visit the 'Canadian Museum of Immigration' at Pier 21! From 1928 to 1971, Pier 21 was the first stop for over 1 million immigrants entering Canada before and after World War II, playing a crucial role in history. Today, part of the pier has been converted into the Canadian Museum of Immigration History, where you can visit to learn about the stories of immigrants and witness their significant contributions to Canadian culture, economy, and way of life. Address: 1055 Marginal Rd, Halifax, NS B3H 4P7

Halifax Waterfront Boardwalk

The Halifax area has a variety of public spaces, ranging from urban gardens, public squares, expansive forested parks, and historic sites. The original grid plan devised when Halifax was founded in 1749 included a central military parade square, the Grand Parade. The square hosts the City Hall at one end, and is a popular site for concerts, political demonstrations, as well as the annual Remembrance Day ceremony at the central cenotaph. Another popular downtown public space is the timber Halifax Boardwalk, which stretches approximately 3 km (1.9 mi) and is integrated with several squares and monuments. Halifax Harbour is a major port used by numerous shipping lines, administered by the Halifax Port Authority. The Royal Canadian Navy and the Canadian Coast Guard have major installations along prominent sections of coastline in both Halifax and Dartmouth. The harbour is also home to a public ferry service connecting downtown Halifax to two locations in Dartmouth. Sheet Harbour is the other major port in the municipality and serves industrial users on the Eastern Shore. #mynovgetaway#awesomepic#instagramworthydestinations

During our trip to Canada to see all the fall foliage this fall season, we checked the famous Peggy’s Point Lighthouse. We heard it’s still an active lighthouse and a must see landmark while in Nova Scotia (since it’s very iconic to Canada)! ‬
