The Mooseheads took down the Screaming Eagles 5-2 on a night that was all about supporting men and women in uniform and honouring some of this year’s military mile- stones. Once again, the Mooseheads wore special DND-inspired jerseys for the game, with the latest design honouring the 100th Anniversary of 12 Wing Shearwater. Raffle tickets were sold throughout the night for a chance to win one of the special jerseys. “Over the years, the Mooseheads, along with the fans, have raised close to $170,000 all in support of the Camp Hill Veterans’ Memorial Garden. It’s something that’s very important for the team each year,” said Moo- seTV announcer Scott MacIntosh prior to the game.

  • Patron Perceptions of a Downtown Halifax Library
    Volume 3 | Issue 1 More Then Just Shelves: Patron Perceptions of a Downtown Halifax Library Emily Macrae, Stephanie Van de Vooren, Siobhan Witherbee Dalhousie University, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT his paper explores how patrons conceive of the Spring Garden Road Memorial Library (SGL) in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Built in 1951 to commemorate local residents who died in the world wars, the SGL will be replaced by the Halifax T Central Library by the end of 2014. Our study combines on-site observation and interviews with library patrons to determine how users’ behavior at the SGL relates to their opinions of the current building, and the future Halifax Central Library. Although policy documents highlight the shortcomings of the SGL building, many patrons value the SGL because of its connection to local history, as well as its place in their everyday lives. The contrast between physical conditions and individual perceptions demonstrates the interplay between tangible and intangible factors in shaping urban space. Keywords: Halifax, Library, Public Space, Social Construction, Social Production 1 The JUE Volume 3 Issue 1 2013 1 The Spring Garden Road Memorial Library (SGL) is the oldest and largest branch in the network of Halifax Public Libraries. Centrally located next to a popular public park, the library also occupies a prominent position in the city’s downtown core. Built as a living memorial to local residents who died in the world wars, the SGL is caught between its commemorative origins and the contemporary needs of its users. The SGL is of particular interest not only because it is a historically1 significant 2institution that serves a diverse population, but also because the Halifax Central Library, proposed for completion by the end of 2014, will replace the Spring Garden Road branch.

  • Needs Assessment and Master Facilities Plan
    Halifax Public Libraries Needs Assessment and Master Facilities Plan Final Report July 2004 Serving Atlantic Canada with offices in Bedford and Moncton. ENGINEERING PLANNING SURVEYING MANAGEMENT CONSULTING Executive Summary Introduction Halifax Public Libraries services are considered a valuable community resource. The Library is widely recognized as the key organization supporting literacy and life-long learning for the public. The Library manages 14 Branch facilities within its network, and offers an “e-branch,” Books by Mail, a Mobile Library, and related services. As part of their planning process, the Halifax Public Libraries’ Board of Directors wants to further enhance their understanding of trends that impact on operations and capital development. Factors include population growth in Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM), changing demographics, shifts in urban/rural development, and commuter patterns. In light of this need, the Board has initiated a Needs Assessment and Master Facilities Plan. Terrain Group Inc. of Bedford, Nova Scotia, has been engaged to complete this assignment. Study Objectives The objectives of the study are to present recommendations and establish priorities regarding capital development in the Library system for an approximate ten-year planning horizon. Additional considerations include building capacity in an environment of fiscal restraint, and establishing a Central Library while strengthening the Branch network. Context A number of issues faced by the Halifax Public Libraries have been identified to date and should be addressed in the course of the study. These include the absence of a Central Library, repair and maintenance issues at the Spring Garden Road Branch in Halifax that are becoming cost prohibitive, and space constraints at the Woodlawn Branch in Dartmouth.
