Situated on the southern shore of the Annapolis Basin, HMCS Cornwallis was the largest of a succession of military installations which have occupied this area for almost 400 years. Named after Edward Cornwallis, the founder of Halifax and governor of Nova Scotia from 1749 to 1752, this state-of-the-art military base was put in place in the early 1940’s to address the need for training sailors to serve in WWll. During the war years, HMCS Cornwallis was the largest naval training base in the British Commonwealth with the wartime strength of the base exceeding 11,000 officers, men and women. Due to military downsizing, HMCS Cornwallis closed its doors in 1994. The military base that served thousands of our proud troops sat quietly and awaited its next adventure. Surrounding the Annapolis Basin Conference Center is Cornwallis Park. This business park is recognized internationally as a model of innovative development and Cornwallis Park employs more civilian personnel than when it was a military base. In addition to English and a Second Language Training Courses, the Annapolis Basin Conference Centre is also proud to provide facility and hospitality services for all Pearson Peacekeeping Centre programs. The Centre is an internationally recognized peace operations training institution supporting Canada's contribution to world peace and security. And military boots still tread across our floors.
