Known for the vitality of its flourishing arts community, its colourful maritime industry, and abundant natural beauty, Lunenburg has become a beacon for visitors to Nova Scotia. In 1995 Lunenburg was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site - one of only two settled sites in North America to hold this distinction. The writer Margaret Atwood has written about the delights of Lunenburg and the South Shore in the New York Times, "sophisticated traveller" (use search terms 'Lunenburg Nova Scotia past year').

With its varied attractions, Lunenburg offers plenty of "after-school activities" not the least of which are three major festivals during the month of August! Interesting side trips to quaint towns and pristine beaches are a short distance away. And after the course is over, visitors will find it hard to choose from an itinerary of wonderful sights throughout the magical province of Nova Scotia.

More information about the town of Lunenburg can be found on the town web site: Town of Lunenburg.
