Everyday Life

Tranquil beauty, a gentle climate and internationally-recognized ecological diversity has traditionally depicted Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley Digby region. Today there’s a new descriptor to add to the list: SMART. FUNDYweb broadband, a 48 strand community-owned fibre optic network runs through Annapolis and Digby counties and connects businesses to the world.

These are just some of the reasons Annapolis Royal was designated “The Most Livable Town in the World." It may also have something to do with the neighbouring town of Digby receiving the title, “Canada’s Most Romantic Town." Sound enchanting? Night or day, it just takes a few minutes looking at the spectular view of the Annapolis Basin to see why.

In fact, the whole region is designated as a United Nations Biosphere. Agriculture products from grapes, peaches and apples to walnuts, zucchini and mushrooms have always set the Annapolis Valley apart. We even have a kiwi grower in Bear River! Combine our bountiful wine region with our famous Digby scallops and you have an epicurean’s delight.

If the beauty, romance, great food, wine, climate, ecology and technology aren’t enough, consider our lifestyle. No traffic congestion. You are wired to the world, but you can still leave it all behind at the end of the day to enjoy a healthy and relaxing way of life. We have championship golf courses, historical gardens, the arts and artisans, canoeing and kayaking, hiking and touring, fishing and farming. You can set your own pace. We do laid back here pretty well too.
