On Monday, I had the privilege of boarding the Canadian Navy Frigate, HMCS St. John’s for a Day Sail. I joined 100 women from across Canada who work as Teachers & Guidance Counselors in Schools and Community Colleges. They were in Halifax, Nova Scotia for three days of activities to experience life in the Navy and increase their knowledge for recruiting purposes.
Surrounded by the vast Atlantic Ocean, Nova Scotia has a strong and long maritime history. To continue our sailing legacy for years to come, Nova Scotia's famous nautical ambassador is undergoing a major rebuild. The Bluenose II will return to sailing in the summer of 2012 after her restoration commenced in 2010.

Low tide at Halls Harbour - Bay of Fundy Nova Scotia
Last week our Premier, Darrell Dexter, urged Nova Scotians, and friends of Nova Scotia & New Brunswick, to place their votes for the Bay of Fundy to become one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.
