Big news today!
Georges Island National Historic Site (yes the island in the harbour!!) will open for visitors starting THIS Saturday!
The island is scheduled to be open from 12pm-5pm for five consecutive weekends starting August 8 and 9, 2020, through to September 5 and 6, 2020.
Murphy’s will be providing transport to the island. And you can find all of the details at https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/lhn-nhs/ns/georges
The island is so incredible! You’ll get to visit Fort Charlotte where interpreters will present the Island’s history and provide short tunnel tours through the lower level rooms and halls of the gun battery – part of the World War II defence works on the island.
It’s a wonderful experience that’s made possible due to the recent installation of a new wharf funded by the Government of Canada and the Government of Nova Scotia.
