Thinkers Conference 1957
What Pugwash may be most famous for though, was the Pugwash Conference of 1957 to discuss Science and World Affairs.
Hosted by Cyrus Eaton in his home town, it attracted world leaders and scientists from around to world.
An interesting read if you'd like to 'google' it.
As a side note to this, I work with a guy who's Grandfather hosted Raoul Castro (yes, of Cuba fame) right after the conference. Apparently the senior Mr Falkenham had a very successful cattle farm just outside Lunenburg.
Subsequent to this visit, Nick's Grandfather ended up shipping cattle to Cuba !!
…aw, a random piece of info I just happened to stumble on through a chat ….

Amherst Shores,NS
Following a couple of days in the valley exploring the Bridgetown, Annapolis Royal and Digby area we headed to the Northumberland Strait area of the province.
We parked the trailer at the Amherst Shores Provincial Park. A really nice place to stay.
