About the Area

Welcome to Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia and the largest municipality in Atlantic Canada. Halifax lies on a peninsula alongside one of the world's largest deep water harbours. The rolling hills of this city rise up from the harbour and the historic central district to the upper ramparts of the Halifax Citadel, a star-shaped fortress that offers visitors splendid views of the city and waterfront.

Some of Atlantic Canada’s best shops and restaurants are located mere steps from the College. An estimated 30,000 people walk Spring Garden daily which gives it the distinction of having the most pedestrian traffic east of Montreal. Brazilia Cafe is located on the main floor of the building, but for a change of pace try one of the 200 restaurants located in downtown Halifax, many of which are situated on and around Spring Garden Road!

Attractions within walking distance include the Public Gardens, Museum of Natural History, Halifax Citadel, Dalhousie University, IWK Children's Hospital, QEII Health Centre, and many more.
