They were instrumental in the establishment of general contracting as an industry, and in organizing their peers into trade associations, predecessors of today’s Construction Association of Nova Scotia. eight years as a railway contractor in New Brunswick before settling in Halifax in 1860. As one of the rst general contractors in Nova Scotia, he played a key role in the reorganization of the local building trades. He was one of the rst “master builders” to establish a building rm that integrated diverse crafts under one roof and could contract for whole projects. Others soon emulated him, transforming the industry. By 1862, Brookeld had organized the Halifax Builders’ Society to discuss wages and workinghjhgjkghjkghjghhjhgjhgjhgjhgjhgjhgjhgjhgjhgjhg hours. Brookeld’s early projects included an engine house, several wharves, some railways and, in 1866, the new Provincial Building. These projects, however, did not prevent him from undertaking, in a series of contracts from the immhgjhgjghjghjhjhgjghjghjperial government, what was to be one of the largest military building projects in the British Empire: the fortication of Halifax and its harbour. Totaling over half-a- million dollars (an enormous sum at the time), the building programme included Fort Clarence, York Redoubt, the defenses on George’s Island and McNab’s Island, a John Brookeld 1808 - 1870 magazine, four batteries, the Barracks at the Citadel, three other military housing projects, and a Military Hospital, considered the nest of its type in North America. two year-old son, Samuel, to take over the rm and nish building Fort Massey United Church in Halifax. The Brookeld Construction Company would remain an important part of the community for another century, with Samuel as president for fty-four years. e younger Brookeld continued to undertake building of whatever type and scale required. In an era when city bank buildings were Palaces of Finance, Brookeld built every bank in Halifax but one. He built the Academy of Music (later the Majestic Theatre) in twenty weeks, and other local landmarks, such as the Post Oce, the Herald Building, the MT&T Building, the Y.M.C.A., and the Masonic Hall. His projects included factories, religious structures (including a seminary, a monastery, and All Saints’ Cathedral), educational facilities (including Mt. St. Vincent University), and the Northwest Arm Memorial Tower (the Dingle). He built, and operated, the Halifax Graving Dock, sparking the development of Halifax’s North Old Post Oce End.

Brookfield worked on highly innovative projects, as well. The Queen’s Hotel in Halifax, for example, was a showcase for new building materials. Built largely of brick, it was supported by steel girders, with its entire flooring of concrete with new manufactured tiles, and its walls of cement on expanded metal wire. Like his father, John, Samuel Brookfield also provided leadership to his peers. In 1889 he organized a new Builders’ Association, which discussed wages and working conditions with the unions. The Association continued to represent general contractors until 1914, when Brookfield was again instrumental in reorganizing the Association as the Constructive Mechanical Trades Nova Scotia Cotton Company Exchange. The Exchange would lead, following two more 1883 name changes in 1946 and 1960, to the establishment of In addition to running his construction company, Brookfield also managed the Halifax Dry Dock and established a ship salvaging and repair business. This business repaired over 400 ships in the 17 years from 1897 to 1914, the year in which he built the first steel vessel in Halifax. Brookfield also formed the Canada and Newfoundland Steamship Company, serving as its president, as well as the president of Maritime Telegraph & Telephone Co., president of Eastern Canada Savings and Loan Co., and a director of four other companies. His organizational and leadership skills were not, however, confined to business. In addition to serving for some time on both the Halifax City Council and School Board, he was also a governor of the University of Mt.

Political Science Publications. 12. https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/politicalsciencepub/12 “Canada’s NATO Commitment: Current Controversies, Past Debates, and Future Issues” Erika Simpson Introduction Canada has been a committed member of NATO since its founding in 1949. It has been one of Canada’s most controversial commitments—as evidenced by the recent debate about NATO enlargement and the controversy over NATO’s bombing of Kosovo and Serbia. In fact, we can probably expect yet another debate about Canada’s commitment to NATO later this year as Foreign Minister Lloyd Axworthy has promised to question the Alliance’s continued reliance on nuclear deterrence. There is also bound to be future dissension over whether the allies should undertake a ‘second round of expansion’, taking in countries like Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. While issues related to NATO expansion and the war in Kosovo have dominated the news lately, it is also useful to stand back and look at Canada’s overall relationship to NATO. This essay surveys some current controversies, past debates, and possible future issues related to Canada’s NATO involvement since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War.

  • Closure of Important Parks Canada Archaeological Facility The
    July 19, 2017 For Immediate Release Re: Closure of Important Parks Canada Archaeological Facility The Newfoundland and Labrador Archaeological Society is saddened to learn of Parks Canada’s continuing plans to close their Archaeology Lab in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. This purpose-built facility was just opened in 2009, specifically designed to preserve, house, and protect the archaeological artifacts from Atlantic Canada’s archaeological sites under federal jurisdiction. According to a report from the Nova Scotia Archaeological Society (NSAS), Parks Canada’s continued plans are to shutter this world-class laboratory, and ship the archaeological artifacts stored there to Gatineau, Quebec, for long-term storage. According to data released by the NSAS, the archaeological collection numbers approximately “1.45 million archaeological objects representing thousands of years of Atlantic Canadian heritage”. These include artifacts from the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, including sites at Signal Hill National Historic Site, Castle Hill National Historic Site, L’Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site, Terra Nova National Park, Gros Morne National Park, and the Torngat Mountains National Park. An archaeological collection represents more than just objects—also stored at this facility are the accompanying catalogues, site records, maps and photographs. For Immediate Release Re: Closure of Important Parks Canada Archaeological Facility This facility is used by a wide swath of heritage professionals and students. Federal and provincial heritage specialists, private heritage industry consultants, university researchers, conservators, community groups, and students of all ages have visited and made use of the centre. Indeed, the Archaeology Laboratory is more than just a state-of-the-art artifact storage facility for archaeological artifacts—its value also lies in the modern equipment housed in its laboratories, in the information held in its reference collections, site records, and book collections, and in the collective knowledge of its staff.
