Living in Nova Scotia
Halifax
Nova Scotia's capital city, Halifax, is the educational, cultural and economic hub of Atlantic Canada. With a multicultural population of 420,000, Halifax provides a safe and friendly environment.
At our Halifax campuses, you're only a five-minute walk from the ocean. You can try surfing, sailing or kayaking — and our beautiful coastline offers excellent hiking, scenic parks and colourful gardens.
Take a stroll along Halifax’s harbourfront or taste world-class cuisine. Enjoy the many entertainment options, including art shows, theaters, festivals, sporting events and an internationally recognized live music scene.
Truro
Combining small town charm with a full range of recreational and shopping opportunities, Truro — home to our Agricultural Campus — is the best of both worlds. The town of Truro is located approximately one hour from Halifax.
Enjoy a stroll through Victoria Park, pick up some local produce at the farmers market or check out local theaters, festivals and restaurants.
