August 29, 2026, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Join Nova Hollandia Reenactment at Fort Anne National Historic Site, to mark the founding of the first English speaking colony in mainland Canada – the Anglo-Scottish settlement of Charles Fort. Although this settlement only lasted 3 years (1629-1632), it would shape the future of both province and nation, and was given a name that would endure across the centuries: Nova Scotia.

They will be delving into the the lives of these intrepid settlers, showcasing day-to-day skills such as period cooking and handicrafts, as well as discussing the arms and armour of the fledgling colony.
