Additional Information

Community Details

Bear River is a small charming village, of approximately 800, situated at the head of the tidewaters, located six kilometers inland on a tidal river of the Bay of Fundy. The river itself is the border between the Annapolis and Digby counties of Nova Scotia and thus, splits the village so that half the village is in Annapolis County and the other half in Digby County. The tide rises and falls approximately 25 feet twice a day due to the dramatic Fundy tides, the highest on earth 

Known as the 'tidal village on stilts', Bear River offers shops, studios, galleries, and a vineyard and a haven for musicians and artisans. The village is adjacent to the Bear River First Nation.

Physicians in Nova Scotia provide fulfilling patient care which embraces family life, professional development and community involvement. That's what makes practicing medicine in Nova Scotia unique. Physicians are increasingly attracted to practices that offer team-based care to their patients and allow them to consult with their peers. The size and scale of Nova Scotia allows for better connections across the health care system. Your practice of medicine and your life is richer here. Nova Scotia is more than medicine.
