Discover Nova Scotia - Canadian Ultralight Tour 2012

Nova Scotia is Canada's second-smallest province in size after Prince Edward Island. Her population is about 1 million, which makes Nova Scotia the second-most-densely populated province of Canada. The province's mainland is the Nova Scotia peninsula, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, including numerous bays and estuaries.

The tour starts in Saint John, New Brunswick - Canada’s oldest city (not to be mistaken with St. John’s, CYYT, Newfoundland). Crossing the Bay of Fundy and you will arrive in Nova Scotia. The tide gauge in the Bay of Fundy was recorded the highest tidal range in the world. Tides at Burntcoat Head average 55.8 feet, with the highest being set during the 1869 Saxby Gale at 70.9 feet.

Flying low will also give you the chance to spot whales. After having crossed the peninsula and a short hop to the southern tip of Newfoundland, you will finally be back in Saint John.

The rules of the tour are available in the MODA Lite system. This system will provide you with the tour legs, and that is where you will be able to send your flight reports and get your tour award. Once you have completed this tour, you will receive the Division ULM Tour award.
