ova Scotia is, by anyone’s measure, a different kind of
place.
It is Canada’s easternmost contiguous province, more
than 13 hours from the national capital in Ottawa and another three
hours removed from the country’s most populous city in Toronto.
And it’s surrounded by water, save for a narrow isthmus tethering it
to its mainland neighbor in New Brunswick.
The rugged climate provides for wide weather disparities from
north to south, and it’s no rare feat to have one end of the province
basking in sunshine while the other is hunkering down to fend off
the effects of yet another incoming Atlantic Ocean-influenced storm
system.
