Our Communities
Middle Musquodoboit is a rural community located approximately 100 kms from Nova Scotia's capital city of Halifax. The area has a strong agricultural history and base. Each summer the community hosts the Halifax County Exhibition. There is also live theatre in the Bicentennial Theatre & Cultural Center, which has hosted virtually every prominent entertainment name in Nova Scotia. The Theatre also houses the local Visitor Information Centre as well as the Lions Den and the local Food Bank.
Elmsvale is a small community nestled between Middle and Upper Musquodoboit. Like Middle Musquodoboit much of the industry is forestry and agricultural in nature. Nearby is the community of Moose River Gold Mines which is presently being developed to resume gold mining which was a major industry in the area in the early 1900s. It is a beautiful area of the province especially in the autumn months when fall color is spectacular.
