Moving to Nova Scotia...?

Question

We're in the early stages of immigrating to NS, Canada (from South Africa). Our initial thinking was Halifax. Is this the best option for a young family? We haven't visited yet. Need a heads-up on halifax, Cape Breton, Lawrencetown, Annapolis etc. Any takers?

Answer 1

We always wanted to live in the Annapolis Valley but it's quite a commute in winter.

There's a lot going on as klids' activities in Halifax, but you have much better access if you live closer to downtown.

Answer 2

My Wife is from Halifax. I'm from Pennsylvania. We go visit all of the time. It is a beautiful place to live. The summers never get too hot, and because it is on the ocean the winters never get as cold as the rest of Canada. If I could move anywhere in Canada it would probably be Halifax NS. There is a lot to do and a lot of history. Also it is a very close nit community for a young family to grow up in. The people are friendly and you will be accepted and fit right in. I hope you move to Halifax so much to do and so nice.

Good luck
