Halifax is where the maiden voyage of Titanic really ended, with the most lasting legacy from the sinking located here. T he world was stunned in 1912 by the loss of the liner Titanic on her maiden voyage. Halifax, Nova Scotia , located on the eastern coast of Canada, has one of the most moving and intimate connections with the Titanic disaster, playing a key role during the tragedy's aftermath and becoming the final resting place of many of her unclaimed victims. T hree Halifax ships were involved in the grim task of recovering victims - many of whom were laid to rest in three of our city's cemeteries. Rows of black granite headstones, each inscribed with the same date, April 15, 1912, are a stark reminder of the disaster. Titanic artifacts at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic are a touching reminder of the ship's lost luxury, her violent end and the special role our port played as the enormity of the disaster unfolded. These artifacts were all pulled from the water within weeks of the sinking by ships from Halifax searching for Titanic victims. The exhibit features wooden artifacts collected at the scene of the disaster, including one of the only

The Bluenose Jugglers History Although juggling and the circus arts do not have a long history in Nova Scotia, this seedling is definitely sprouting! The origins of our club are in a small group of jugglers, unicyclists, mimes and tightrope walkers who began to meet in 1982 under the auspices of Portable Mime Theatre . For the next several years jugglers continued to gather under the 'Juggle Jam' banner to teach each other new tricks and work together on routines. In time local performing groups like Fool's Paradise Jest in Time and Just Us grew from these gatherings. These days the club meets under the auspices of the YMCA and is know as the Bluenose Jugglers Visitors to the Club Over the years the club has played host to many prominent teacher's and performers including the internationally acclaimed clown Bob Berkey , circus teacher Hovey Burgess , mime Don Reider , author Richard Dingman and others.

POMORZE POLISH FOLKDANCE ENSEMBLE Pomorze, Nova Scotia's Polish Folkdance Ensemble, was born in 1983. During the last several years the ensmeble has been "dormant" however, it has recently started up again and rehearsals are once again in progress. See the information below on how to get involved. During its past incarnation, Pomorze grew from a small group of enthusiasts to a well-organized company with a full repertoire. During that time Pomorze gave over one hundred fifty performances at occasions such as the Polish Dance Festival of the Americas in both Boston and Montreal, the Canadian Polish Dance Festival in Toronto, the Seventh and Eighth International Festival of Polish Folkdance Ensembles in Rzeszow, Poland, the Canada Games Festivities in Cape Breton, the visit of His Holiness Pope John-Paul II in Halifax, The Nova Scotia International Tattoo, the first annual 'A Day in Poland' celebrations, and many multicultural events and celebrations. Pomorze's performances in Poland earned them the Medal of Honour from amongst the fifty-five companies from eleven countries who participated. Pomorze also produced two half hour television programs for Halifax Cablevision entitled Zabawa - Poland Dances Pomorze's costume collection is one of the best of its kind in Canada with six complete colourful sets of eight men's and women's costumes for the dances in the repertoire. All the costumes are authentic folk costumes, for the most part made in their respective regions of Poland. The collection also includes smaller numbers of costumes from other regions. The original music to which the dances are performed was scored for eight instruments and recorded by local musicians.

Much of Kings County's allure is in the way the graciousness of the past is woven into the tapestry of the present. The history of Kings County is long and tangible. Five thousand years before the first European arrivals. Cape Blomidon was home to the legendary Mi'kmaq god, Glooscap, and the Mi'kmaq people made their home here hunting, fishing, and traveling the waterways in and around Kings County. The French Acadians settled here in the early 1600's and started construction of an extensive dyke system. Until their deportation in 1755 by colonial troops from New England, the Acadians lived in this area for 120 years and built prosperous communities. The New England Planters settled lands left vacant by Acadians. and many of their descendants farm the lands still.
