Halifax

On the south side of downtown Halifax, The Halliburton Hotel is one of the city’s most unique boutique hotels, with a style, warmth, and character that is so refreshing.

Halifax is the east coast’s biggest city, and it’s a vibrant, fun, refreshing destination, especially during those warm months when there is so much to do in Nova Scotia.

Are you ready to fall for one of the most picturesque and beautiful coastlines in the world? Nova Scotia is a perfect vacation destination, from incredible food and amazing hospitality to historic landmarks and stunning beaches and highlands, the province is a gem on Canada’s east coast.

The Halifax Citadel in Nova Scotia is an incredible historic site that’s filled with stories. During the day, you can take a stroll and learn about the history of the former military fortification from the interpreters. At night though, the fortress gets a little spooky, and that’s what makes the Halifax Citadel Ghost Tours so much fun.

The east coast is calling! In a few days I’m starting a 10-day trip around Nova Scotia with my family, and our first stop is naturally Halifax.

Cape Breton Island has been on my bucket list for a long time, and I’m finally planning a trip in just a few weeks. It’s going to be a fantastic fall adventure, and I can’t wait to explore Nova Scotia, enjoy incredible east coast meals, and relax on a sea-side hike.

The GATE and Elevation Pictures are thrilled to give away double passes to see Greta Gerwig’s directorial debut, Lady Bird, which opens in select cities on November 10, and expands across Canada on November 17.

He has Jack Johnson’s easy optimism, a maritime feel that is reminiscent of Joel Plaskett, and the cronning voice of classic folk music. He doesn’t take himself too seriously. He is fond of wearing suits. He has won five East Coast Music Awards. He recently won the Juno for rap recording of the year for Inner Ninja.

“Now you’re just a memory of everything I’d hoped you’d be,” sings Mo Kenney in “Sucker”, a breakup song filled with anger and longing that clearly resonates with people. Following a month of voting, Kenney’s “Sucker” has won the 2013 SOCAN Songwriting Prize. The Halifax musician takes home the grand prize of $5,000, a Gibson Les Paul, and a $3,000 Roland gift certificate.

Hugh Jackman, Dakota Goyo and Evangeline Lilly star in director Shawn Levy’s action-drama, Real Steel, and The GATE is giving away double passes in eight Canadian cities to see the film before it opens in theatres on October 7.
