Halifax, the capital city of Nova Scotia, is located on the East Coast of Canada on the Atlantic Ocean. A major business centre, it’s also known for its maritime history. Halifax is located within the traditional ancestral lands of the Mi'kmaq indigenous peoples, known as Mi'kma'ki. The first permanent European settlement in the region was on the Halifax Peninsula, established in 1749. The city is known for the devastating explosion, on December 1917, when the SS Mont-Blanc, a French cargo ship carrying munitions, collided with the Belgian Relief vessel SS Imo resulting in the largest artificial explosion before the development of nuclear weapons.
