Canada Coast to Coast West Bound

Portland is perched on a peninsula, jutting out into the island-studded Casco Bay. This city of 230,000 people is a progressive, lively city incorporating the character of yesteryear into a modern urban environment. Historic architecture blends gracefully with the new as you stroll along her working waterfront or the cobblestone streets of the restored Old Port section of the city.

Located on one of the world's great natural harbours, Halifax is adorned with landmarks like the Citadel fortress, Pier 21 (Canada's Ellis Island), and the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic - which is well worth a visit to see the artefacts recovered from the Titanic. Learn about the formation of World War II convoys which gathered here to run the gauntlet of U-Boats across the Atlantic and the gun ship collision during World War I which caused as catastrophic explosion and flattened the city. Another interesting spot to visit is the graveyard of the victims from the Titanic disaster which were recovered by the local fleet. Beyond the city, you can discover the weather-beaten landscape of Nova Scotia's south shore. See craggy coastlines, and the German village of Lunenburg - a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Sydney was founded in 1785 and named in honour of Britain’s Home Secretary at the time, Thomas Townsend, 1st Viscount Sydney; a few years later, Sydney, Australia would also be named after him. Sydney's original settlers included former soldiers and Loyalists escaping the chaos following the American Revolution. The town was the English capital of Cape Breton Island from its founding until 1820, when the island colony and its rich coal fields became part of Nova Scotia. It was that coal that would transform Sydney from a colonial town in Cape Breton into a major industrial centre, becoming a world leader in steel production. That industrial growth saw Sydney officially become a city in 1904, welcoming workers and their families from around the province and world. Today, Sydney continues to welcome people from around the world as they come to visit the city and the beautiful island of Cape Breton.
