Shoreline Development
Much of the shoreline of the Northwest Arm, referred to locally as "the Arm," is fronted by private residences.
The Northwest Arm is the location of several parks, notably Point Pleasant Park at the southern entrance to the Arm on the Halifax Peninsula. Sir Sandford Fleming Park on the western shoreline contains the Dingle Memorial Tower which commemorates the 150th anniversary in 1908 of the establishment of responsible government in Nova Scotia; the first location in the British Empire to do so. Deadman's Island Park commemorates American soldiers who died while imprisoned on the island during the War of 1812.
The Atlantic School of Theology also maintains its campus along the southern part of the arm.
The Northwest Arm is the location of four marinas:
- Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron
- Armdale Yacht Club
- Waegwoltic Club
- Marlborough Woods Yacht Club

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“The work of adult life is not easy. As in childhood, each step presents not only new tasks of development but requires a letting go of the techniques that worked before. With each passage some magic must be given up, some cherished illusion of safety and comfortably familiar sense of self must be cast off, to allow for the greater expansion of our distinctiveness.”
—Gail Sheehy (20th century)
