The Spectacular Natural Setting

Acadia may well be the most beautiful campus in Canada with a spectacular view of Cape Blomidon, the ancestral home of Glooscap, god of the Mi'kmaq. We are nestled amidst the attractive town of Wolfville on the Minas Basin, which has the highest tides in the world. On campus is the K.C. Irving Environmental Sciences Centre, and the Harriet Irving Botanical Gardens and Woodland Trails. Within two minutes of your classroom or residence, you can be in a comfortable, beautiful wild setting. The wider Annapolis Valley offers innumerable nearby opportunities for hiking, biking, canoeing, kayaking, and generally enjoying the natural world.
