"Georges Island, a small drumlin located in the middle of
Halifax harbour, was shaped by glaciers which swept Nova Scotia
thousands of years ago. Its strategic location and glacial till
made it ideally suited to becoming the heart of the seaward
defences for Halifax's important naval base. For nearly two hundred
years Georges Island was the scene of constant military activity.
Tales of executions, forts and hidden tunnels surround the folklore
associated with the mysterious island."
Secret passages eh? Conspiracy?!!

Georges Island to be open to public next year (2010)
If you look out over Halifax Harbour this August, you’ll
likely see construction crews busy at work on Georges Island.
That’s because Parks Canada intends to open the national
historic site to the public, and plans starting the necessary work
Aug. 1, the agency said Tuesday in papers filed with the Canadian
Environmental Assessment Registry.
The move comes after Parks Canada opened the island to an
enthusiastic public on June 13 and 14.
It will be March 31, 2010, before the work on the island is
completed, the development documents state.
