| • | Canning, Nova Scotia (population ~1000) is a village in northeastern Kings County located at the crossroads of Highway 221 and Highway 358. Though much diminished in importance in recent years, Canning was once a major shipbuilding centre and shipping and rail hub for farmers in Kings County. Originally the area was settled by Acadians who were expelled during the Acadian Expulsion, though it was later resettled, in particular by English and Dutch settlers. Much of the farmland surrounding Canning is still protected by dykes built by these early settlers.
Canning has a prominent statue of Sir Robert Borden, a native son and the eighth Prime Minister of Canada in the centre of the village.
