Maritime Special
Our Canada|August/September 2019

Sharing an awesome trip to Nova Scotia strengthened this father-son bond.

In the summer of 2013, my 22-year-old son, Rob, was finishing up his summer job and about to head oƒ for his final year at Sheridan College. Rather on the spur of the moment, my wife suggested Rob and I take a trip together. We flipped a coin to decide our destination, heads for the East Coast, tails for the West. We caught a flight to Halifax.

There was no shortage of intriguing things to do in the city. We toured the Citadel, the exquisitely preserved outpost of defence originally established in 1749. I would certainly choose to be inside in the event of battle rather than attempt an assault from the outside!

The Maritime Museum of the Atlantic is certainly a must-see and a lovely spot to stroll through. Rob particularly enjoyed the Titanic exhibit and the many brilliant ship models throughout. My father-in-law had served on the frigate Antigonish during World War II and the tour of the HMCS Sackville served as a reminder of the hard work, risk and camaraderie that Canadian veterans had shared during those di cult times.
