Canadian Provinces — Nova Scotia

Located in Southeastern Canada, the province of Nova Scotia is southeast of New Brunswick, south of Prince Edward Island, east of the Bay of Fundy (which is west of the U.S. state of Maine), and south of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. Nova Scotia is surrounded on its east and south sides by the North Atlantic Ocean. The province's capital and largest city is Halifax, which is located along the southern coast. Other cities include Glace Bay, New Waterford, and Sydney. The province's largest island by far is Cape Breton Island; the Bras d'Or Lake is in the center of the island. The island boasts two significant historical parks: Alexander Graham Bell N.H.P. and Fortress of Louisbourg N.H.P. The Cape Breton Highlands National Park is aptly-named for being located in the Cape Breton Highlands in the northern part of the island. Other national parks and wildlife sanctuaries in Nova Scotia include Chignecto Game Sanctuary, Kejimkujik N.P., and Tobeatic Game Sanctuary. There are many smaller islands in Nova Scotia, including Cape Sable, Isle Madame, Janvrin, Petit-de-Grat, and Scatarie.
