Jane's Walk Halifax - The Halifax Waterfront: From Busy & Gritty Working Waterfront to Bustling & Beloved

Join Terry Drisdelle, Senior Planner with Build Nova Scotia for a stroll along the boardwalk to learn about the events that transformed this area from a busy commercial waterfront, to an area of abandoned and deteriorating properties and then to the most visited public destination in Nova Scotia. Hear how the ongoing work of Build Nova Scotia has created active and inclusive public spaces while adopting best practices in waste management and remediation measures for sea level rise and flooding.
