Fox Harb’r – Nova Scotia’s 5-Star Resort…and Not Just for Golf
March 22, 2023
Fox Harb’r resort is Nova Scotia’s only five-star, four-diamond resort. There’s a good reason for that. The resort was built by Ron Joyce, the co-founder of Canada’s largest restaurant chain.

Fox Harb’r Resort
Jan 5, 2018
At our recent visit to Fox Harb’r Resort in Nova Scotia, I found this to be another resort with an outstanding kitchen that attempts to grow at the property as many of the herbs, greens and salads as are needed, plus they stock a trout pond where fat trout are caught fly-fishing for sport (then they are released back to the pond) or for the kitchen (see Fox Harb’r Resort).
