Dartmouth, Nova Scotia shares one of the world's finest natural
harbours with its sister city Halifax. They are the most easterly
commercial port cities on the North American mainland, closer to
Europe than any other city on the continent.
From Dartmouth, the
continental rail and road networks stretch to a North American
marketplace of 300 million people. Just 15 minutes by car from
downtown Dartmouth, Halifax International Airport is served by six
air carriers, handling over two million passengers every year, with
direct flights to major centers in the United States of America and
Europe.
Downtown Dartmouth has a blend of modern architecture and historic
streetscapes surrounded by a tremendous resource of waterfront land.
Our Waterfront Plan focuses on a park system that creatively
combines a variety of land uses. The Plan utilizes existing
infrastructure in its promotion of new tourism, residential,
cultural, retail, and industrial uses.
