Sharing an awesome trip to
Nova Scotia strengthened this
father-son bond
by Dave Sanders, Strathroy, Ont.I
n the summer of 2013, my 22-year-old
son, Rob, was finishing up his summer
job and about to head o for his final
year at Sheridan College. Rather on
the spur of the moment, my wife suggested
Rob and I take a trip together. We flipped
a coin to decide our destination, heads
for the East Coast, tails for the West. We
caught a flight to Halifax.
There was no shortage of intriguing
things to do in the city. We toured the Cit-
adel, the exquisitely preserved outpost of
defence originally established in 1749. I
would certainly choose to be inside in the
event of battle rather than attempt an as-
sault from the outside!OUR TRAVELS20 Our Canada AUGUST / SEPTEMBER 2019
