What's Happening with the Bandstand?

The Public Gardens Bandstand was featured on CBC's Information Morning on March 17th.  Click here to listen to a podcast of Don Connelly's interview with Lyndon Watkins as he explains why the refurbished iconic Bandstand is the re-creation of a dream.  The grand opening of the 'reborn' bandstand will be held on the Victoria Day weekend in May, a suitable 192nd birthday celebration for Queen Victoria.  The bandstand was originally built to mark 50 years of her reign.

... The air traffic control tower at Halifax Stanfield International Airport was referred to as the “jewel” of Canada’s air traffic control system by NAV Canada when it opened in the summer of 1997. It was the first project of its kind for WHW, and despite that, the design pushed the envelope of control tower design in Canada. The Project won a Lieutenant Governors Design Award in 1997. Pilots arriving at the Halifax Airport still refer to it as the “Stanley Cup”…a reference to its distinctive form.
