I'd agree with Nick re. Cornus alternifolia. I can't speak for the rest of
the province, but in Kings/Annapolis County in 90% of the cases you can ID
the shrub to species from a distance from the presence of a bright orange
fungus that infects the stem.

&gt; It is about 6-8&#39; tall and seems to have very dark branches. Here i=
