Well if early July is before the 6th, you might also consider the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo for events. Jazz fest is from 12 to the 16th and the Lebanese festival runs from the 6th to the 9th.
There are also several different harbour tours you can take, ranging from the cheap (taking the ferry across to Dartmouth and back) to whale watching and fishing: http://www.mtcw.ca/tour-schedule
And if your relatives are in Northumberland, you probably won't be too far from the Steinhart distillery.
The Dingle tower is an interesting bit of architecture and has a very nice view of the Northwest Arm. The park it's in, (Sir Samford Flemming Park) is nice as well.
If you can get out to Cape Breton I would definitely recommend going to Louisbourg, the fort is intact and during the summer there's re-enactors populating a rebuilt part of the town.
And sadly no, there is no pro-gonish. We don't seem to be that clever with place names, see Pubnico, West Pubnico, East Pubnico, Middle West Pubnico, Middle East Pubnico, Lower West Pubnico and of course Lower East Pubnico.
