The Shubenacadie Canal is more than a waterway. It is a transportation spine flowing through a greenbelt between Halifax Harbour and Bay of Fundy, linking many small communities en-route.

As an historic treasure, the canal is recognized at home and abroad, as a unique system of natural lakes and rivers connected by man-made locks, canalworks and two inclined planes, it is a recreation jewel.

Its proponents are once again (like back in 1826) promoting the waterway. This time the goal is not improved transportation links, but enhanced recreation and natural history education for local residents, businesses and visitors.
