Did you know this about Halifax?
Halifax is the capital of Nova Scotia. It hosts the largest population east of Quebec City – 403,000 people
at last count.
Halifax has been around for a long time. It was founded in 1749 by Honorable Edward Cornwallis of
England.
The Halifax Explosion in 1917 was the world’s largest man-made explosion prior to Hiroshima. About
2000 people were killed and 9000 injured when the SS Mont Blanc, a French cargo ship loaded with
wartime explosives collided with an empty Norwegian ship. It caught fire and 25 minutes later exploded. A
tsunami and pressure wave also occurred and caused considerable damage.
The Dalhousie Gazette, established in 1868, is the longest running college newspaper in Canada.
The first public library in Canada was Halifax’s Citizens’ Free Library, established in 1864.
One in every five Canadians is related to someone who passed through Halifax’s Pier 21.
The first newspaper in English Canada was the Halifax Gazette, initially published on March 23, 1752 by
John Bushell.
Canada’s first covered ice rink was opened on January 3, 1863 in the Public Gardens.
Canada’s last piracy trial took place in Halifax in 1844. Four crew members of the British vessel Saladin
were the last people hanged as pirates in Canadian history.
There are more pubs per capita than any other city in Canada.
