Pugwash

Pugwash sits at Pugwash Harbour on Nova Scotia’s Northumberland Strait, where the Pugwash River enters sheltered coastal waters. This small community is known internationally as the birthplace of the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs: the first meeting took place at Thinkers Lodge in 1957, bringing scientists together to discuss the dangers of nuclear weapons. The conferences took their name from the town and later shared the 1995 Nobel Peace Prize with Joseph Rotblat. Around the harbour, Pugwash remains closely connected to the shore and the wider Northumberland Strait coast.
