Burnside, Nova Scotia
Burnside is a Canadian urban neighbourhood located along the northeast shore of Bedford Basin in Nova Scotia's Halifax Regional Municipality.
Officially still termed a dispersed rural community, Burnside has been the location of a major concentration of industry and commercial development since the 1970 completion of the Mackay Bridge near the previously existing Industrial Estate, which had only 4 enterprises prior to the bridge opening. There are very few dwellings in Burnside as it is used almost exclusively for commercial operations; the only residential area being the adjacent communities of Highfield Park, Albro Lake and Wright's Cove.
