Dartmouth-Cole Harbour

The Dartmouth-Cole Harbour Region is comprised of Dartmouth and Cole Harbour, located on the opposite side of the harbour from Downtown Halifax.

Known as the City of Lakes, Dartmouth is a welcoming destination with a fascinating history, plenty of outdoor adventure, as well as an amazing local food scene, boutique and big-box shopping, and of course, the unique Downtown Dartmouth core.

Just 5 minutes past Dartmouth is Cole Harbour, a suburban community best known for being the birthplace of Sidney Crosby, famous hockey player, and 3-time Stanley Cup Winner. Touching on the Atlantic coastline, this community includes fantastic beaches and trails, including Rainbow Haven Beach Provincial Park and the Salt Marsh Trail.

Hop on the ferry or head for the bridges to explore all that the Dartmouth-Cole Harbour region has to offer.

Land Acknowledgement

Halifax is in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people. The people of the Mi’kmaw Nation have lived on this territory for millennia, and we acknowledge them as the past, present and future caretakers of this land.  Historically, a land acknowledgment is a traditional practice shared amongst Indigenous groups to recognize the Indigenous land and territory they are visiting. Today a land acknowledgement remains a way to express one’s gratitude to the Indigenous people for being stewards of the land that we live and work on.
