Working Class Heritage Tour 2: Scratch the Surface

Join us for interactive walking tours that share the complex working class history of downtown Halifax. Each tour takes a different path through the city core and discusses different aspects of working class history and culture. The tours are designed to be stand alone but also work as a series, with each tour covering different topics and following a different path.

Walking along the streets of today we’ll explore the many types of work that used to take place where we now see offices, shops and restaurants.

 We’ll pull back the curtain on what it was like to work in the laundries, factories, and food manufacturing plants of Halifax and what we can still see of this industrial past. This tour begins at the old Memorial Library and ends near Granville Mall.
