Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia, is renowned as the "Christmas Tree Capital of the World." This title stems from its long-standing tradition of growing and exporting high-quality balsam fir Christmas trees. The county’s ideal climate, rich soil, and generations of skilled tree farmers have made it a global leader in the industry.

The tradition dates back to the early 20th century when local farmers began shipping trees to Boston and other U.S. cities. Today, millions of trees are shipped worldwide, and the region is celebrated for its sustainable forestry practices. Lunenburg County's Christmas tree industry is a testament to the area's heritage, ingenuity, and natural resources.

The Halifax Explosion, one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history, occurred on December 6, 1917, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It happened when the French cargo ship Mont-Blanc, loaded with explosives for World War I, collided with the Norwegian vessel Imo in the Narrows, a busy harbor passage.

The collision caused a fire on the Mont-Blanc, leading to a massive blast that destroyed much of Halifax and Dartmouth. The explosion killed nearly 2,000 people, injured over 9,000, and left thousands homeless. The blast was so powerful that it shattered windows 50 miles away and caused a tsunami in the harbor.

The disaster led to significant improvements in emergency response, urban planning, and maritime safety regulations. Today, the event is remembered as a tragic yet transformative moment in Canadian history.
