Glen Arbour Golf Course is one of Atlantic Canada's and Halifax premiere golf destinations. At 6800 yards in length, Glen Arbour Golf Course is not long by today’s standard but the combination of natural hazards, elevation changes and tricky bentgrass greens challenge players of all skill levels. In its brief few years of existence, Glen Arbour Golf Course has played host to many celebrities with the highlight being the inaugural Wayne Gretzky and Friends Invitational and most recently the BMO Canadian Ladies Open in 2005.
Pier 21 is a National Historic Site which was the gateway to Canada for one million immigrants between 1928 and 1971. It also served as the departure point for 500,000 Canadian Military personnel during the Second World War. Today, Pier 21 hosts the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21—Atlantic Canada’s only national museum!
The Cunard Centre is a waterfront cargo shed renovated into a large multipurpose, year round event centre. The Cunard Centre is located at Pier 23, behind the Westin Nova Scotian hotel, as part of the Halifax Port Authority’s SeaPort redevelopment. Guests of the Cunard Centre can be outside on the “Brow” and watch as ships maneuver through the busy Halifax port. In season, guests are privileged to view some of the largest cruise ships in the world, which tie up adjacent to Cunard Centre when visiting Halifax.
Point Pleasant Park lies on a rocky 75-hectare promontory jutting into the Atlantic Ocean at the eastern end of the Halifax peninsula. This park has been a place of recreation for the citizens of Halifax since the city's founding in 1749. Before that, it was a hunting, fishing, and ceremonial area for the indigenous Mi'kmaq people. Until 1866, Point Pleasant was primarily a military bastion, but in that year it was leased to a newly formed commission for a public park. Trees were planted in its early years as a park and it soon became an urban forest where citizens could find an oasis of peace close to the bustling city.
The Dalhousie Arts Centre is the premier performing arts venue in the Halifax area. It is home to Dalhousie's Music and Theatre departments and the Dalhousie Art Gallery. The Centre features the Rebecca Cohn Memorial Auditorium with a capacity of 1040, the smaller Sir James Dunn Theatre, which holds 230, as well as three smaller studio theatres. There are more than 20 practice rooms, a script library, and construction and plastics workshops for students building sets.
The McCain Building is the home of Dalhousie University's Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, and was opened in 2001 - the first major addition to general purpose teaching facilities at the institution in two decades. The College of Dental Hygienists of Nova Scotia will host their Meet & Greet Lunch and Annual General Meeting in the first-floor Scotiabank Room and its lobby.
