The Annapolis Valley is located along Nova Scotia's Bay of Fundy. It is approximately 150 kilometres (93 miles) long and includes towns, villages and other communities. The Valley region starts in the Annapolis Basin in the west and spans the counties of Annapolis and Kings. From Wolfville and the Minas Basin in the east, it continues to the western part of Hants County.
For Annapolis Valley businesses, the location offers many advantages. Thanks to Nova Scotia's world-class transportation infrastructure, it's easy to reach your global markets from here.
Access to metro area in less than 1 hour
Many parts of the Annapolis Valley are less than an hour's drive to Halifax (formally known as Halifax Regional Municipality), the province's vibrant capital and the largest urban centre in Atlantic Canada.
Close to Northeastern US market
The Annapolis Valley is within easy reach of Nova Scotia's award-winning Halifax Stanfield International Airport. Halifax is closer to New York and Boston than it is to any other major Canadian city. Halifax is also two hours closer geographically by air to Europe than any other North American destination.
Close to shipping
Halifax is a major seaport. The Port of Halifax includes two super post-Panamax container terminals. By ship, businesses using our ports are only a day's sail to New York. That means Nova Scotia is a full day's sail closer to major markets in northern Europe than any other North American port.
Ferries to the rest of Atlantic Canada and to the US
Ferry Service via Bay Ferries and Northumberland Ferries Limited, provides convenient access to New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, the US state of Maine and, via Marine Atlantic, to Newfoundland.
