CFB Greenwood is located in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia, approximately 100 km northwest of Halifax. It is home to 14 Wing and operates the CP-140 Aurora maritime patrol aircraft. The base plays a critical role in Canada's maritime surveillance, search and rescue, and anti-submarine warfare capabilities.
The Annapolis Valley is known for its agricultural landscape, wineries, and slower pace of life. The nearby town of Kingston offers housing and amenities for military families, while larger centres like Kentville and Wolfville provide additional services.
