approach that faced most research studies and publications about Africville in the early to mid- twentieth century. The Black community of Africville was understood to be a poor and racialized slum; ultimately key factors in its demise. The city of Halifax viewed it to be their “dump” where all social services were lacking, social conditions declined and a history of poverty was going to be indicative of how the region would be defined in the years before its destruction (Nelson 121-122). It became

of non-fat frozen yogurt with a dazzling variety of fresh toppings” (Yo-Good: Frozen Yogurt with an Important Difference, 2011) in an all-natural way without the use of artificial sweeteners. Our goal is to bring a Yo-Good franchise to the city of Halifax; a city that we believe is in dire need of great tasting healthy alternatives. The legal form of this business, therefore, would be a franchise. A franchise was chosen in lieu of the formation of a new brand as Yo-Good has successfully established
On October 2nd, early morning, a flight from JFK International Airport landed in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I was one of the passengers. At the altitude of 25000 feet, the view I saw was indescribable. I never saw anything like it before. The lights brightly shining upward from the ground, small green trees and the lengthy curved dark roads. It was a dark calm moonless evening. I didn’t expect the scenery to be this spectacular. I was speechless for a moment. As the plane slowly descended to a lower
The Halifax Explosion occurred in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. During that time, Halifax was booming, it was military town and had the largest population in Atlantic Canada; 50,000 people. On both sides of Halifax’s harbour, business and industry were booming as factories, foundries, and mills were the demands of a wartime economy. The explosion took place on the morning of December 6, 1917. SS Mont-Blanc, a French cargo ship fully loaded with wartime explosives, was involved in a collision with
the title of this book is called City of Order, which as reading through its entirety is a huge contradiction in itself as the author focuses a lot of his attention on the disorder and instability in the city between the years of 1915 to 1935. In his book Michael Boudreau pieces together, with the use of case profiles; a depiction of the citizens; policy makers; and enforcement officials, a picture of the criminal justice system and its influence on the city of Halifax during its period between the
It was a beautiful morning in Halifax , Nova Scotia . All was quiet and peaceful until about 8:45 AM when 2 ships had collided. The SS-Mont-Blanc (A french ammunition ship) and the SS Imo(Belgian Relief Ship) had collided together so far starting a small fire. For approximately 20 minutes the people of Halifax had gathered around watching the 2 ships until shortly after 9 AM the SS Mont-Blanc had exploded. (pause to welcome) Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, the day the world changed was December
economic distress and the subsequent neglect of Africville by the city government made the deviant aspect of Africville less tolerable. Moreover, issues regarding deeds and landownership resulted in “Africville [being] almost completely illegible to the state.” This illegibility had some very practical issues in the relocation processes; for example, it was very hard to figure out who actually had claim to certain properties. For the Halifax government the illegible status of Africville accompanied with
Why citizen engagement is important for the future of transportation in the Halifax Regional Municipality. Citizen engagement is a process where individuals can participate and delegate public actions and decisions. It integrates the public and allows communities to have a role in policy making. Engagement of citizens is particularly important in regards to aspects of the municipality such as transportation within the Halifax Regional Municipality, HRM. This system directly affects the daily lives
involved with decisions that affect them (Checkoway et al., 2005). Municipalities in Canada understand the importance of engagement and participation of youth in communities (Blanchet-Cohen, 2006). Given the increasing number of youth who reside in cities, it is especially important that municipal governments understand the many realities and perspectives of this part of the greater population (Blanchet-Cohen, 2006). In comparison to the multiple levels of Canadian government, municipalities are of
of universities in the province, the tradition and esteem of the high school programs, and the continued support from a large and knowledgeable basketball community have made the game a staple of Nova Scotia life, culminating with the capital city of Halifax becoming known as the basketball capital of Canada. When you talk about basketball in the Maritimes you can break it down into different levels of competition. There are the club systems throughout the province, the regional and provincial teams
anchored on both sides of the Halifax Harbour with hundreds of men “swarming their decks and hollering over horns and whistles” (p.162). The hilltop is studded with canons and “flapping flags that appear to be saluting the thousands of soldiers roaming the streets” (p.163), who are yelling, cursing or jostling each other as they sing drunkenly. Livvy’s grandmother forbids Livvy from going out of the house because of the confusion in the streets. The air in Halifax is taut with the roar of planes
The unequal heating of the earth by the sun is due to the earth’s relationship with the sun and the solar energy that the sun provides. One of the key factors that influences the unequal heating is due to the angle at which the sun hits earth. Earth is shaped as an oblate sphere that rotates around its tilted 23-degree axis from east to west. One rotation around its axis is twenty-four hours, or one day. The earth also rotates around the sun as a revolution or a year. Depending on the earth’s orbit
Introduction World War One was the first war to impact the world as much as it did. It was called “the war to end all wars,” which it was for a while. Canada being a growing, young country, had to pay the price for this war not only with money, but also through divisions within the country and a countless number of deaths. The sheer horror and tragedy that Canada had to go through in this World War was unfathomable. Many will say Canada became a nation because of this war, but the costs that our

goods are moved through the Port of Halifax, loaded on the new Maersk Triple-E container ships, and shipped to worldwide markets. The Port of Halifax is currently the only deep-water port that can accommodate these post-panamax container ships. These Triple-E ships can move up to 18,000 containers and, due to the economies of scale, reduce the shipping cost per container; thereby reducing cost to manufactures (GLFGr4, pg. 4). Detroit is currently the best-situated city for repositioning its main economic
commonly grouped with the United States, Barometer Rising proves with its strong themes of nationalism, that Canada’s role in the world is to be a strong nation, independent of the United States and well linked to Europe. Barometer Rising takes place in Halifax, Nova Scotia and focuses on the impact World War I had on the province. Nova Scotia was well known in the 20th century for its production, handling, and
Nova Scotia Nova Scotia, one of the three Maritime and one of the four Atlantic provinces of Canada, bordered on the north by the Bay of Fundy, the province of New Brunswick, Northumberland Strait, and the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and on the east, south, and west by the Atlantic Ocean. Nova Scotia consists primarily of a mainland section, linked to New Brunswick by the Isthmus of Chignecto, and Cape Breton Island, separated from the mainland by the Strait of Canso. On July 1, 1867, Nova Scotia became

I lived for about two years in the city of Southampton in England while studying my masters. I couldn’t help but notice similarities between the city of Halifax and the city of Southampton in many ways, including a slower-paced lifestyle; friendly people, welcoming communities, diverse cultures, maritime type climate, ease of public transit, clean air,
meant to be answered: Why did Nova Scotia not join the Thirteen Colonies in attempt to break ties with the British in 1775 and 1776?
