Working Class Heritage Tour 1: Where We Stand

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.

Moving through downtown we will talk about the impact of people, land, and power on the evolution of the colonial urban centre over the last 300 years while experiencing the city around us.

 From the paupers grounds of the 18th century, integrated neighbourhoods of the 19th century, strikes of the 20th century and movements for social justice today. This tour begins at the old Memorial Library and ends at the waterfront
