Afternoon Tea with Mayor and Town Crier

HRM Archives 102-104-D13            

Former City of Halifax Mayor Moira Ducharme and Town Crier Peter Cox greeted tourists and citizens with tea in the Grand Parade, ca. 1992.

This is one of the more than 1,000 slides that the Archives processed in 2010 from images taken by Tourism Halifax to promote the City from 1970-1996.  Search our database to see the types of photographs the tourism department took of special places like the Common, Brewery Market, Visitor Information Centres, and events such as Mardi Gras, Natal Day, Buskersfest.  These images document how much has changed in Halifax even in the last decades.
