Halifax Armoury

The Halifax Armoury is a military structure in central Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. The armoury is the home base of The Princess Louise Fusiliers, and several cadet units. Architecture The armoury was designed in 1895 by Chief Dominion Architect Thomas Fuller. It was opened the next year though work on the structure was not completed until 1899. While the sandstone exterior is based on a medieval castle, it was actually one of the most advanced structures of its day. It was pioneering in its use of a series of Fink trusses to create a large interior space with no columns or walls, and is today the oldest surviving example of such a building. It was also one of the first buildings in Halifax to be lit by electricity. The plan is similar to that of Fuller's Toronto Armoury, completed in 1894. History It has played an important part in many wars in which Canada participated, being an important transit point for soldiers before departing by ship for the Boer War and both World Wars. It was damaged in the Halifax Explosion in 1917, the west wall being displaced by about 60 centimetres. Still usable after the explosion, the armoury provided shelter for many who had lost their homes. The armoury again served as an emergency shelter during the 1945 Bedford Magazine explosions, when thousands of North End residents evacuated toward the Halifax Common. The St. John Ambulance Brigade and the army worked together to shelter the evacuees for about 25 hours following the first explosion. The building was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1989. In 1991, it was designated a Classified Federal Heritage Building. Restoration Major renovations were announced in January 2017 to restore the west wall to its original position after being damaged in 1917 by the powerful blast of the Halifax Explosion. Up to 20 per cent of the wall required replacement and it was decided to use stone from the original quarry after the source was located in Beckwith, near Pugwash, Nova Scotia. First phase The first phase of the rehabilitation project centres on restoring the damaged west wall, as a tilt caused by the Halifax Explosion has gradually been increasing. Reconstruction of the wall is expected to be complete in October 2019. Second phase The restoration's second phase is expected to be complete by 2024. The interior will be restored, as will the other three facades as well as the building's roof.

Harbour View Elementary School

Harbour View Elementary School, also called "Harbour View School", is a public school located in the Tufts Cove neighbourhood of north-end Dartmouth, serving about 380 children from pre-primary through to sixth grade. The school's preschool program, student services offices, and dental clinic are in the building. The principal is Fournier, Dan. Harbour View Elementary School has a bee as a mascot, with a celebration held every month at their "Super Bee Assembly"; this celebrates all the wonderful things happening within the school that month. Harbour View also boasts a range of clubs and activities: knitting club, skipping club, art club, gardening club, and a basketball team "The Harbour View Hornets". Harbour View has an active Breakfast Program and provides hot lunch three days a week, and snacks the other two. This program has been in place for over two decades. History The school was first built in 1945, with major construction work also taking place in 1972. In 1997 and 1998, the school was among 25 taking part in the Nova Scotia Model Schools Program, in which trees and other greenery were planted on school grounds. In recent years, Harbour View has grown exponentially, blooming from approcimately 175 students to 380 in about five years. Harbour View Elementary School has an active gardening club, and helps maintain a community garden that is on the property. School Makeup Historically, a significant proportion of the student population lived in poverty. The neighbourhood welcomes many newcomers to Canada and has a large African Nova Scotian community. This makes for a diverse school population. With the recent population growth in Nova Scotia, many schools are full. Halifax Regional Centre for Education stated that by October 2024, "Our enrollment will likely surpass 60,000". This makes for fuller classrooms within the schools. Harbour View Elementary School and John MacNeil Elementary School both feed into John Martin Junior High School. Notes External links Harbour View Elementary School official Web site

Holy Cross Cemetery (Halifax, Nova Scotia)

Holy Cross Cemetery is a cemetery in Halifax, Nova Scotia, owned and operated by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth. It was constructed in 1843 under the direction of Archbishop William Walsh, on land provided by local authorities. Holy Cross Cemetery replaced the first Catholic cemetery in Halifax, the St. Peter's Cemetery located next to St. Mary's Basilica on Spring Garden Road. Since 1843, some 25,000 persons have been buried at Holy Cross, many of Irish descent, including Canada's fourth Prime Minister, Sir John Sparrow Thompson. Our Lady of Sorrows Chapel is said to have been built in one day on Aug. 31, 1843 by 2,000 volunteers, although the foundation and some prefabrication had been done in advance. The chapel's modest design is described as a Nova Scotian expression of Gothic revivalism. The furnishings are sparse and modest but the altar reliefs have received national recognition, and the windows have been described as a nationally significant collection of stained glass. Holy Cross Cemetery served as the primary for Halifax Catholics until 1896, and although interments continued through the twentieth-century the site had fallen into disrepair by 2005. The Holy Cross Cemetery Trust was established in 2006, and a program of restoration and beautification by volunteers has been in progress since 2008, repairing fences, the chapel, and 1800 of the current 2500 gravemarkers. Notable interments There are many notable persons buried in the cemetery including: Sir John Sparrow Thompson, Prime Minister of Canada Hon. Sir Edward Kenny Thomas Edward Kenny Charles Robinson (1840–1896), US Civil War Medal of Honor The cemetery also contains war graves of nine Canadian service personnel, six of World War I and three of World War II.

Huskies Stadium

Huskies Stadium is a Canadian football stadium at Saint Mary's University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, home to the Saint Mary's Huskies. It had a promoted capacity of 9,000 to 11,000 that is achievable via temporary seating, but the actual permanent seating is only 2,000. It was built in 1969 for the 1970 Canada Summer Games. It has hosted many Canadian Interuniversity Sport Atlantic & Uteck Bowl national semi-final football games. On June 11, 2005, the stadium hosted an exhibition game between the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the Toronto Argonauts to gauge Halifax's public support for a CFL franchise. The game was called "Touchdown Atlantic". For the game, the stadium's capacity was temporarily augmented to 11,148. In July 2009, new seating was added that holds up to 500 people on the east-end of the stadium. The main grandstand was demolished in Spring 2014. The site was used for football and track in 2014 with seating for fans on new east-side bleachers and on a new grassed area formerly occupied by the stadium grandstand. The university said at the time it will continue to examine options for a future new grandstand facility in the interim. On July 25, 2020, the stadium was scheduled to host Touchdown Atlantic, a regular-season CFL game between the Toronto Argonauts and the Saskatchewan Roughriders, but the game was ultimately rescheduled for 2022 and relocated to Wolfville, Nova Scotia, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Another Touchdown Atlantic game was played on July 29, 2023. For the 2023 contest, the venue was augmented with temporary seating to bring the capacity to 11,555 spectators.

Shaar Shalom Synagogue

The Shaar Shalom Synagogue (inscribed in Hebrew: עדת שער שלום, Adas Shaar Shalom on the corner of the building), is a Conservative synagogue located in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Shaar Shalom Synagogue was among the first Canadian Conservative synagogues to hire women in clergy positions and welcome same-sex partners as members. History It was founded in 1953 by a collective of families who were members of Halifax's Baron de Hirsch Synagogue who sought a community that would permit "family seating" (also known as mixed seating or the opportunity for men and women to sit together). They sought an egalitarian ideology that would permit women's political and ritual leadership. The community has had professional leaders over the years, including Dr. Irving Perlin. Perlin was an obstetrician who served as a lay hazzan and mohel, and presided over weekly sabbath liturgies and ceremonial circumcisions. The synagogue is a supporter of Camp Kadimah. Many of the art pieces still decorating the synagogue were procured during David Jacobs' tenure from 1953-1957. The building that stands at the corner of Oxford St. and Pepperell St. was dedicated on October 31, 1955. Rabbinic Leaders 1953-1957: Rabbi David J.

Killam Library

The Killam Memorial Library is the main library of Dalhousie University, and the largest academic library in the Maritimes, comprising 230,000 square feet (21,000 m2) of space. History Designed by Leslie R. Fairn, the library was made possible by the donation of $30 million by Dorothy J. Killam in memory of her late husband Izaak Walton Killam. The Killam Library replaced the former Macdonald Memorial Library, which had become too small for the student population. Construction began in 1966 and was completed in 1971. The open courtyard was covered by a glass ceiling in 1996, creating a year-round meeting area with food and a Second Cup coffee shop. In 2010, a new master plan for the Dalhousie Campus proposed an expansion to the library by adding to the south and east sides of the structure and altering the look of the building by cladding the facade with a glass curtain wall. There is another library of the same name in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. References
Lake Micmac

Lake Micmac is a freshwater lake located in the Halifax Regional Municipality in Nova Scotia, Canada. Located entirely within the community of Dartmouth, Lake Micmac is also known as 'Second Lake' for its position in the Shubenacadie Canal system. The lake is bordered on three sides by roads: Waverley Road on its eastern shore, Highway 118 on its western shore, and Highway 111 on its southern shore; the bridge carrying this latter road also separates Lake Micmac from Lake Banook. The north shore of Lake Micmac is occupied by Shubie Park, a large urban park. There is also private beach frontage known informally as 'Mossman's Beach' on the northeastern end of the lake. Lake Micmac is a popular location for water sports and boating; the lake features a boat launch at Red Bridge Pond. Lake Micmac is named after the Mi'kmaq Nation who used the Shubenacadie portage route as a transportation corridor before the arrival of European settlers. Several pre-colonial archaeological sites have been found in the area of Shubie Park; many of the artifacts that were recovered are on display at the park's Fairbanks Centre.
