love it
In june 1984, I was a cadet at the Venezuelan naval school and I was in that parade aboard the Simón Bolívar, an unforgettable experience
I love how you can tell from the "replay frequency" thing CZcams has now that Canadians like the German segment.. probably the drums, and how unusual it is for us to see Germany anywhere over here! But we absolutely LOVE the first bit of our traditional pipes and drums and would never, ever miss it.
Nova Scotia is the best place to live… I miss it 😪 dearly!❤️❤️👏👏👏❤️
I saw them go by our old house, decades ago. They are much bigger now..👏👏👏👏❤️
This is what passes for a "missile parade" in Canada. If you look really close, you might just see one!
Que bien! gracias <3
So the Picton Castle is now seven circumnavigations.
Wow! That's incredible!
This brings back memories. Also, it looks like you posted/filmed it awhile after I had stopped working there.
This video was filmed and published back in 2011.
I want to see the inside. I wonder who has a key?
It's owned and managed by the city. There has been some articles about people who lived there. halifaxmag.com/features/living-in-halifaxs-iconic-rotunda/
I did not know you could get to it. From the highway, it looked it up this hill that was hard to get up, and I'm thinking, how does one get there?
There is a gravel path just about metres north of the Rotunda site. When you get on the gravel path, just go over the railway tracks and head over there. The train passes by a regular intervals so careful when you cross.
🇩🇪🇨🇦
some douche Canadian boos the US Navy band. Nice, after you've been hiding under their skirts since the end of WW 2.
Whoah, they rolled out the ADATS for this? That's awesome.
Just added bucket list item: attend an international tattoo someday.
Wow looks just like itM
it would be something to play the theme song on board. theodore the tug boat. just to make it authentic
Cool that Germany participated. My ancestral home!

Finally good camera work...Thank you
we visited the Atlantic Provinces many years ago and still count our visit to be great...thanks - merci
A beautiful place, and designed by Queen Victoria's father no less, but a shame musical performances aren't held INSIDE it!
George's Island is actually named after King George III. The fortifications on the island are called Fort Charlotte after his wife, Queen Charlotte.
Please aplod snow angel 23 episode...😢😢😢,why only 22 episode...please
My old neighbourhood! I lived in the hydrostone area for 45 years before moving out which I really came to regret, but by then it was too late. my dad was a rotten businessman and was conned into selling what have should have been mine- the car and house.
Thanks for these videos man, I was born in Halifax, haven't lived there in almost 20 years. Luckily I visit every few years, plenty of family in the area.
Too bad I come from an SEA country, we don't much of this. Even if there is, it will be very expensive.. sigh.. I wanna try sailing on these ships.
In response to a question below from Kyle Goodman: The march heard from 4:19 - 4:49 is "Arnhem", by A.E. Kelly. Thanks for posting this parade. It included some fine bands.
Hi hfxland1749, the feel this video gives is perfect. you're awesome

Thanks for the comment!
Awesome series..
How many games do u play ?
Caught a guy who did, check out my youtube. Go Haiti.
Hi there, My name is Sarah Kelly and I am a teacher in the Northwest Territories. My Grade 8/9 Social Studies class is entering a contest to travel to Cape Breton this summer and they want to use your video as part of their promotional project to compare and contrast Mi'kmaq and Inuit/Metis/Dene culture. With your permission, may we use 0:56 to 1:15? The clip may be featured on CBC News North and the only profit would be the trip they may win. There is no cash involved. Thank you! -Sarah Kelly
Which movie are you referring to?
is this the one the movie is based off of(George's Island)?
Glad you have enjoyed your experience in Halifax. Thank you very much for the great tour of the beautiful ship Simon Bolivar!
part in the cruise ship Simon Bolivar School which visited the port of Halifax thank you very much for your attention and very beautiful city and nice people
Lol Kamelle/Bondons from a Tank?^^
Does anyone know the name of the march at 4:49?
Arnhem March (British)
So it is you leading the tour. Personally I thought you did a terrific job of explaining sections of the underground areas of Fort Charlotte. I did enjoy the tour. Thank you very much!
Also, there are long term plans to open the island permanently to the public. It should be happening in the next five years (probably not that long).
No tunnels, alas - though that'd be pretty neat. It shows up in some local ghost stories, surveys of the harbour have to my knowledge turned up no evidence either of voids beneath the harbour, or of any collapsed tunnels. If there were one, it would hypothetically be somewhere near the West Caponier, as the Royal Engineer yard was once ashore in that direction (around where Pier 21 stands today). I never realized I moved around so much while speaking... haha Hope you enjoyed the tour! =)
I will be looking forward to your work! There is nothing like the sea and the Tall Ships that plied the waters to open one's heart to the emenseness of all of creation!
Hi TheWoodman1948! Thank you very for sharing your experience. I am thrilled to have read your comment! The video certainly have struck a chord with your memories. Just letting you know, I am hoping to film this year's Tall Ships Nova Scotia.
