Tuft's Cove, Nova Scotia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tuft's Cove is a Canadian urban neighbourhood in Nova Scotia's Halifax Regional Municipality. It is situated on the eastern shore of Halifax Harbour in the North End of the former city of Dartmouth.
The neighbourhood boundaries of Tuft's Cove are approximately from Albro Lake Road in the south to Highway 111 in the north, and from Victoria Road in the east with the harbour to the west.
The dominant feature of Tuft's Cove is the Tuft's Cove Generating Station, whose smokestacks tower over the area. The neighbourhood has endured many environmental battles with Nova Scotia Power over the operation of the plant, whose construction required the destruction of a large number of homes during the mid-1960s. The plant sometimes spreads fly ash across the neighbourhood, coating houses and vehicles; it is also a large contributor to Nova Scotia's greenhouse gas emissions.
