English in Halifax
Halifax
Halifax, the capital city of Nova Scotia, is best seen on foot, and our students have plenty of places to visit, like the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, the waterfront boardwalk and the Citadel National Historic Site . Then walk into any of Halifax’s great bars and restaurants and catch some live music any time of the year. If you prefer the outdoors, Halifax and Nova Scotia are home to some of the greatest parks in Canada.
