This beauty in Bridgetown, NS started its life as a Neoclassical 3 bay house earlier in the 19th century and had a Queen Anne Revival facelift in the last quarter of the 19th century.  It sold recently and is now undergoing a beautiful restoration and paint with all of its character being preserved, including its wood windows. The new owners are doing a fabulous job, and we will share an updated photo once the exterior is completed.

In our latest #blog we’re sharing a recap of the inspiring event we hosted at the Port of #Digby that showcased the future of marine transportation — electric vessels for the fishing industry! 🛥️⚡️

With partners like RBC, ABCO Industries, Bluegrid, EfficiencyOne, and the Nova Scotia Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture, the event demonstrated that significant progress can be made when industries, government, and communities work together towards a common goal. It was clear from the enthusiasm of the participants that there is strong support for transitioning to cleaner, more efficient marine technologies.

More scenes from Nova Scotia 🇨🇦🌊 📷: 1-10…the next leg of our trip through Canada’s ocean playground took us into some gorgeous seacoast full of color and Acadian culture. First, we explored Yarmouth and climbed the Cape Forchu Lighthouse. It was foggy when we got to the top, but on a clear day it would be amazing. We walked the pathways of Leif Erickson Park that also displays “Foggy” a whale skeleton that washed up on shore. From there, we headed north towards the Bay of Fundy, and stopped in Digby, the “Scallop Capital of the World”, with lots of lighthouse stops along the way. Favorites include Gilbert’s Cove & Prim Point Lighthouse. We ended our Day 4 explorations settling in for the night in Annapolis Royal at a charming inn and enjoying a late dinner at East Bistro with views of the waterfront.

Our Nova Scotia sharing continues tomorrow as we head to vineyards, more lighthouses, and seaside towns.

Happy weekend 🫶🏻

Smugglers Cove Provincial Park (Meteghan, Acadian Shore, NS)

Did you know there is a legend about that hidden cove? 🌊 Apparently the rumrunners used to hide contraband liquor in that cave during the prohibition. 🧃🧃

Level: easy.
Km: 100m.
Time: 10min.
Tips: there was lot of seaweed near the entrance of the cave, which make it too slippery for us, so we didn’t check into the cave.
