(From Nova Scotia Place Names, by Thomas J. Brown, 1922.)
CHEZZETCOOK (H.)—The old spelling of this word was "Chillincook". It was once part of and included in Musquodoboit.
The name is from the Micmac Indian "Sesetkook" or "Tceset-kook" meaning "flowing rapidly in many channels."
There seems to be support for both “Chezzencook” and “Chezze’cook.” Also, interesting to find this:

Meanwhile they’re thinking, “You got on a rickety pile of wheels, gears and tubes and had to put in EFFORT to get somewhere instead of sliding into a cushy upholstered, sound-dampened, climate-controlled, multimedia, personal mobile den that you can slam into a power pole and probably still live?”

This is something I’ve always found fascinating, that we’re handed a book that doesn’t always distinguish between guidelines, advice, and what the law actually says

Wait, does it actually say that somewhere? I thought “driver’s license” was short for “this driver is licensed to hit anyone they want with their car, including but not limited to kids, as long as they say it was an accident and maybe pay a relatively small fine”
