Cornwallis Park is best known in Nova Scotia for the former Canadian Forces Base Cornwallis, a major naval training centre that operated from the Second World War until 1994. The community occupies the shore of Annapolis Basin, a broad tidal inlet linked to the Bay of Fundy through Digby Gut. Thousands of Royal Canadian Navy recruits trained at the base, giving this small settlement an important place in Canada’s naval story. After the military closure, the former base site remained central to the community’s identity, while the basin shore retains its connection to Fundy’s powerful tides.
