Canard, Nova Scotia : ウィキペディア英語版 | Canard, Nova Scotia
Canard is a rural community occupying a ridge to the north of the Canard River between the Canard and Habitant Rivers in Kings County in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia.〔(''The history of Kings County, Nova Scotia, heart of the Acadian land...'' ), Arthur Wentworth Hamilton Eaton, 1910]〕 The name comes from the French word for duck which was in turn derived from the Mi'kmaw name for the river which described the large numbers of black ducks once found there. ==Geography==
Canard Street, also known as Route 341, runs through the community following the Canard River and is bisected in the middle by Route 358 which divides the community between Upper Canard to the west and Lower Canard to the east. The corner was known by the names of Canard Corner and Hamilton Corner but is best known by locals as "Jaw Bone Corner". The name stems from a large set of whale jaw bones which were mounted at the crossroads after a whale stranded and died on the Canard River in the early 19th century.〔("A Mini History of Jaw Bone Corner, ''Nova News Now'' 2006 )〕
