Prospect is a Canadian coastal community on the Chebucto Peninsula in Nova Scotia, Canada within the Halifax Regional Municipality. It borders the Atlantic Ocean approximately 23 kilometres (14 mi) southwest of Halifax off the Prospect Road (Route 333). During the American Revolution, fishermen at Prospect captured an American Privateer and 23 crew members. In 2003, the town was hit by the eye of Hurricane Juan. Wind damage was substantial and storm surge washed away many wharfs and stages, but no homes. The area suffered significant land erosion due to the impact.

- Prospect est une localité de la Nouvelle-Écosse, au Canada, bordée par Océan Atlantique, et fait partie de la municipalité régionale d'Halifax. Elle est également à environ 23 km au sud-ouest de la route 333. Pendant la révolution américaine, les pêcheurs de Prospect ont capturé un corsaire américain et 23 membres de l’équipage. En 2003, la ville a été frappé par l'œil de l'ouragan Juan. Les dommages causés par le vent ont été importants et les ondes de tempête ont emporté de nombreux quais, mais aucune habitation. La zone a subi une érosion importante des terres en raison de l'impact. (fr)
