  • Interpretation Planning at Courthouse Hill, East Hants
    Honours Thesis Interpretation Planning at Courthouse Hill, East Hants Yvonne Reeves Supervisors: Patricia Manuel & John Zuck School of Planning, Dalhousie University Winter 2014 Honours Thesis i i Acknowledgements I am deeply appreciative of all of the help that was given to me in completing this project. Thank you to John Zuck and Patricia Manuel for your guidance and support throughout the year. Thank you to John Calder for inspiring the stories about geology and sharing your enthusiasm about interpreting Nova Scotia’s geologic assets. Thank you to David Brown, Sean Gillis, and Jared Dalziel for sharing your thoughts and information on the project and for giving me insight into the culture of East Hants. And finally, thank you Maxime Lapierre for taking photos for this project and joining me on site visits. i Summary Courthouse Hill is located in the centre of the Municipality of East Hants. From the site there is a spectacular view that encompasses five Nova Scotian counties. A courthouse that once stood on the hill was a historic landmark until it burned down in 19561. A monument erected on the site in 1980 describes the view and provides a brief history of the courthouse. The Municipality of East Hants would like to rejuvenate the site by improving both the natural and human heritage interpretive experiences available there and to preserve the view into the future. This report documents an inventory of the natural and human history of the site and surrounding area, the current state of the site and the surrounding environment, as well as current land uses in the area.
