George's Island set to open in 2012
This sounds like great news. This would provide a great view of the city and be an interesting place to visit as a past military fortification. http://thechronicleherald.ca/NovaScotia/1164271.html
"One of the planned Nova Scotia projects is to open Georges Island to visitors coming to Halifax on cruise ships. The work on the island, located in the middle of the harbour, will include a new dock and washroom facilities.
Georges Island became a Parks Canada historic site in 1965.
"Georges Island is of interest to cruise ships," Mr. Prentice said.
"We’ve seen significant changes in tourism here with the frequency of cruise ships (in Halifax’s harbour)."
