On 9/11, the world stopped. On 9/12, their stories moved us all. 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙁𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝘼𝙬𝙖𝙮, the hit musical based on the remarkable true story, chronicles the experiences of the people of Gander, Newfoundland, and the almost 7000 airline passengers who were forced to land there when US air space was closed on September 11, 2001. Twelve actors tell the story of both the Islanders and the Plane People, revealing the fear and uncertainty that came with the terrorist attacks – as well as the profound generosity and compassion of strangers.

Just outside Halifax, the fishing village of Peggy’s Cove is home to the iconic Peggy’s Point Lighthouse—over 100 years old and one of the most photographed in Canada. Wander among the wave-washed boulders, colourful houses, and working lobster boats as you take in the stunning coastal views. While you’re there, enjoy a meal, souvenir shopping, and oceanfront dining at the Sou’Wester Gift & Restaurant Co., a beloved local spot serving traditional Maritime and seafood favourites since 1967.
At just $3, the 15-minute, scenic cruise across the harbour on the Alderney Ferry is a must-do Halifax experience.

Unwind and dine at The Wooden Monkey, kick back at The Canteen, or grab a snack to go at the Portland Street Creperie. For more inspiration and ideas visit HERE
