EXPLORER Holiday Shopping Guide, Contests & Events Nova Scotia Parks Canada & Ryan Scranton “An Artfelt Christmas” EXPLORER How Do I Get To Annapolis Royal? Annapolis Royal 2012 Bay of Fundy HOLIDAY EDITION Digby Halifax Yarmouth Published By NOVA SCOTIA Atlantic Ocean Scenic Annapolis Royal is located in Nova Scotia on Canada’s East Coast. It is only 200 km (120 miles) from the Halifax International Airport, 32 km (20 miles) from the ferry in Digby and 130 km (80 miles) from the airport in Yarmouth. Annapolis Royal ON THE COVER The front cover of this year’s Holiday EXPLORER features the picturesque winter view of Granville Ferry shot from Annapolis Royal. This stunning photo perfectly captures this year’s creative “Artfelt Christmas” theme. It was taken by Ryan Scranton, Executive Director of the Annapolis Heritage Society. Former curator at the Canadian Ski Museum and a graduate of the Applied Museum Studies Program at Algonquin College of Applied Arts and Technology, Ryan has been instrumental in presenting the heritage and beauty of the Annapolis Royal Area through his stunning photography, polished writing style and the many activities he coordinates for the Annapolis Heritage Society. You can enjoy more of Ryan’s beautiful photography on his rgsheritage photostream at www.Flickr.com, and don’t miss his entertaining Annapolis Royal Heritage Blog available online at http://www.annapolisroyalheritage.blogspot.ca. The image of our Explorer was provided by Parks Canada. The back cover showcases the popular Victorian Christmas at the O’Dell House Museum which Ryan coordinates for the Annapolis Heritage Society. It is one of Annapolis Royal’s longest running and most beloved holiday traditions. Dates for 2012 include Ryan Scranton - Executive Director Nov. 30, Dec. 1, Dec. 7 & 8 from 7-9 pm and Dec. 2 & Dec. 9, 2-4 pm.
