Nova Scotia Children and Symphony Produce Special Recording of O Canada

This spring, for three days, a group of children from schools around the province got together as Children’s Chorus of Nova Scotia. Most of them met for the first time, and in three days not only put on a beautiful concert of songs they learned in that brief time period, but they also did a recording of O Canada with Symphony Nova Scotia.

The beauty of this work, in two languages, warms the heart and reminds us how valuable a resource our children are. The CD they produced is being distributed to all the schools in the province, as the official O Canada for years to come!

Glowing hearts, indeed!

When it comes to business tourism, Pat Lyall says access is key. And that is one of Nova Scotia's best assets.

As one of Lyall's clients put it, "Halifax, Nova Scotia is one of the few places in the world where you can still do business on a handshake."

Destination Halifax puts great emphasis on making sure potential clients know about Nova Scotia's lengthy list of attributes.

"We are as hip as the next guy, but we do it here in a way that will be memorable. The brand is the promise, and it needs to be integrated into the way the phone is answered, how quickly you respond to inquiries, the way you represent the organization, the people and the province.
