I am actually working in HMCS Stadacona (still known as such) but you are right it has an address of Canadian Forces Base Halifax (CFB).
Halifax was a big base during the war, and as far as I can remember a collection point for ships prior to proceeding to the UK. There are still old boys here who talk of "walking across ships to get across the Bedford basin". There is also HMCS Sackville, the last corvette afloat. If you visit you should go on this ship, its really interesting.
