Edward Cornwallis 1749


This statue may be removed soon. I got a chance to take pictures before it was removed.
When i have more of a chance to put up some historical information, I will do so.
Due to the change of public perception and the wishes of the MikMaq people, this statue was removed and placed in storage. This will probably be an indefinite storage.

Ten years since Hurrican Juan hit Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI

That definetly was a storm of the century. I had to work and afternoon, early evening shift the night it struck. I just managed to get home about an hour before it struck. My wife and I had put our kids to bed and then stayed up all night as one entire wall of our underground apartment was either a window or a door.
The next morning we spent looking around our neighborhood looking at the destruction. Many trees were down, many century old homes with century old windows were knocked out as the wind had used stones or acorns to smash them.
A shot from Point Pleasant Park, forever changed by the storm
