We need to be pushing all levels over government harder, right now. Is anyone actually enjoying what has become of Halifax?

There’s something about the first sight of the Bluenose II back in back at the dock, that feels like the unofficial start of summer in Nova Scotia. ⚓️

After spending the winter tucked away for maintenance and restoration, the Bluenose II has officially returned to the water — and honestly, she still knows how to make an entrance.

The original Bluenose was launched in Lunenburg in 1921 as both a fishing schooner and racing vessel. She went on to become one of the most famous ships in the world after dominating international races and earning the nickname Queen of the North Atlantic. Today, her legacy lives on through the Bluenose II, which was built in 1963 and remains a symbol of Nova Scotia pride, resilience, and life by the sea. You’ve probably got her in your pocket right now — she’s the ship on the Canadian dime. 🇨🇦

Seeing her back in the harbour never gets old. Tourists stop in their tracks, locals suddenly become historians, and everyone collectively remembers we live somewhere pretty special.

Nice to have you home, Bluenose. 💙

Beautiful day in Peggy’s Cove.

Terrible day for Andrew.

We miss you

Every year at Peggy’s Cove, dozens of tourists look at the giant warning signs, the crashing Atlantic waves, the soaking wet black rocks, and collectively think: “yeah but I’m built different.” 🌊

Really, there’s only one rule at Peggy’s Cove: don’t go on the black rocks. That’s it. One rule. Please don’t ruin it for everyone else and make us put up guard rails.

The lighthouse isn’t the secret.
Where you view it from is.

Everyone lines up for the same view in Peggy’s Cove…
but the real magic is just a little further out 👀
There are so many hidden viewpoints if you know where to look—
and yeah, we might show you a few 😉

Just stay off the black rocks.
