So, if you find yourself wondering where ‘Sullivan’s Crossing’ is filmed, we have got you covered!
Sullivan’s Crossing Filming Locations
‘Sullivan’s Crossing’ is filmed primarily in Nova Scotia, especially in the Halifax Regional Municipality. The production of the inaugural iteration of the series got underway in June 2022 and concluded in early October 2022. As for the principal photography of the sophomore round, it reportedly commenced in early September 2023 and is scheduled to wrap up by the end of the year. So, without much ado, let’s explore all the specific locations that make an appearance in the CTV series!
Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia
The shooting for most of the ‘Sullivan’s Crossing’ takes place in the Halifax Regional Municipality, which is not just the capital of Nova Scotia but also the largest municipality in Atlantic Canada. The production team reportedly moves from one location to the next across the municipality for the purpose of filming against suitable backdrops. For instance, they set up camp in Shubie Park at 54 Locks Road in the built-up community of Dartmouth, which lies on the eastern shore of Halifax Harbour.
A couple of state parks — Laurie Provincial Park at 4949 NS-2 in Grand Lake and Oakfield Provincial Park at 366 Oakfield Park Road in Oakfield — serve as pivotal production locations for ‘Sullivan’s Crossing.’ Besides that, the locales of the suburban community of Beaver Bank also feature quite heavily in various scenes. The rich culture, eye-catching landscape, and diversity of Nova Scotia divert away from the novel’s location of the Rocky Mountains to the countryside but still manages to work perfectly with the storyline. Besides ‘Sullivan’s Crossing,’ the vastness of the Halifax Regional Municipality has been utilized in the production of multiple other film projects, including ‘The Shipping News,’ ‘Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story,’ ‘Sea Change,’ ‘She’s Too Young,’ and ‘Gracie’s Choice.’
