Talk:North End, Halifax

message: I wonder if the "Geography" section might be more appropriate in the main "Halifax" article, rather than for each neighbourhood. I would expect there would be little difference, and much overlap, between the geography of the South End (for instance) and that of the North End or West End of the peninsula. Consolidating a geographical description (soils, surface features, bodies of water, etc.) and putting it in one place might be more user-friendly. Just a suggestion.--OldCommentator 03:22, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I always though that the boundary between North and South Halifax was on North Street--1190557 22:43, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Nope, north of North Street was the bloomfield farm.  You have to imagine Halifax prior to 1800.  The town was just the original grid inside the walls. Blowers Street is so narrow because the wall ran along that street (I think on the South Side).  South End was just south of the town.  the North End started just around Cogswll, probably a slight bit farther south on one of the streets that does not exist anymore.  All the land outside of the old North and South ends and city were all estates or small villages.  You can see that, bits of  farming village up on Bayers Road, the fishing village looking little houses on Grant Street in the far South End.  North of the old North End was Bloomfield (thus the street and the school) and farther north along the shore was Richmond, the town destroyed by the explosion.  the North End absolutely ended south of Richmond, which started around Veith, or slightly south of that, about half way up the dockyard.

message: The article states 
"The Halifax Shipyard was built in 1918 beside the Naval Dockyard, further entrenching the industrial character of the North End." this is incorrect, The halifax shipyard was built in 1889 under halifax shipyard graving dock, of which the original graving dock survived the explosion and is still in use todayhttps://library2.smu.ca/xmlui/bitstream/handle/01/22312/settle_victor_l_masters_1994.PDF?sequence=1 
The article also states;
"Irving Shipbuilding, owner of the shipyard, has undertaken a $300 million upgrade of the facility, boasting that Halifax will have "the most modern shipyard in North America"."
This is a misnomer, as it implies Irving solely facilitated the project financing on its own, when in fact, the editors own citation on the matters states;
" In March, 2012, the Nova Scotia government provided Irving with $304-million in aid – $260-million is a forgivable loan to help upgrade the yard for the ships and $44-million is to be repaid"
meaning, as per the definition of a forgivable loan, irving was given $260 million and only contributed $44- million to the project. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/irving-gets-304m-from-n-s-for-shipbuilding-1.1236105 Kabiblehopper (talk) 12:54, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
