05/07: Last Day in Halifax
Category: General
Posted by: The Agnew Family
Today we visited a few more sites in the Halifax area.
It was very moving seeing the graves from about 100 people who died on the Titanic.
Dingle Tower in the Sir Sandford Fleming Park.
Each level of the tower have many plaques.
A view from the Dingle Tower.
Do you want a nice little property on the water just outside of Halifax? We were told that it was built by a gentleman who owns a diamond mine.
More cannons at the York Redoubt. "York Redoubt was constructed in 1793 just as war broke out between Britain and France. Perched on a bluff at the narrowest point of the outer harbour, it offers superb views."
At the Halifax Public Gardens "see the versatility and symmetry of the Victorian Gardenesque style established in the 1800s, popular then and still in practice here in the only true Victoria Garden in North America." borrowed from the internet.

A couple of fountains in the Public Gardens.
Leaving the garden we decided to take a different route back and ended up walking by the Dalhousie University campus.
