Box 456, STN Central Halifax, NS B3J 2R5 Cover Image: Looking west down Spring Garden Road from the intersection of Queen Street in 1893. Executive Summary In September 2018, Davis MacIntyre & Associates Limited was contracted by Ekistics Plan + Design to conduct an archaeological resource impact assessment for the schematic design of Spring Garden Road between Queen Street and Cathedral Lane. The schematic plan is intended to guide future upgrades to the road and is intended to strengthen the street's sense of place and focus on pedestrians and transit passengers. The purpose of the archaeological assessment is to determine the potential for archaeological resources, to compile an inventory of known archaeological resources, to provide baseline data for future planning within the study area and to provide recommendations for further mitigation, if necessary. Land use and occupation of the peninsula and, indeed, Halifax extends back to time immemorial when the Mi’kmaq and their ancestors hunted, fished, gathered and camped on these lands.

  • Calderdale Votes
    CALDERDALE VOTES 40 years of local democracy Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council was ‘born’ on 1st April 1974 by amalgamating the county borough of Halifax, the boroughs of Brighouse & Todmorden, the urban districts of Elland, Hebden Royd, Ripponden, Sowerby Bridge & part of Queensbury and Shelf and the rural district of Hepton. The first elections to the council were held on Thursday 10th May 1973 (the shadow authority) and to celebrate 40 years of local democracy this statistical digest has been compiled. Notes Results – given by year, votes and percentage share (for the highest polling candidates in multiple contests). Female candidates are designated by the title ‘Ms’ for simplicity. Turnout figures not provided for individual wards because of too many discrepancies. Despite my very best efforts a name may have been misspelt and I apologise if this is the case. The results have been sourced from local newspapers and libraries. A * before a candidate’s name highlights that they are an incumbent councillor for the ward. A + before a candidate’s name highlights that they are an incumbent councillor but have chosen to seek re-election in another ward. No incumbents in 1973 because inaugural election or 2004 ‘all out’ election because of boundary changes. By-Elections – I have noted the retiring councillor (either resignation, death or extended absence). Cycle of Election – Each column should be read downwards. Normally each councillor serves a four year term but it is possible for an incumbent councillor to move to a different cycle e.g. when they seek re-election and are placed 2nd in a double vacancy.
