Natal Day Festivities in HRM

(Thursday, July 31, 2003) - As part of the Natal Day weekend, Halifax Regional Municipality is hosting many events from July 31 to August 4 for citizens' enjoyment. These events include several parades, sporting events, and live entertainment. Families, children and citizens of all ages are invited to celebrate all that Natal Day has to offer.

To help ensure your safety and enjoyment, Halifax Regional Police will have additional patrols on the streets throughout the weekend, as they often do throughout the busy summer months and during special events. If citizens have issues or concerns during the festivities, they are advised to approach any uniformed officer for assistance.
