Mayor Mike Savage and Maritime Museum Wharf

: The job also comes with a pay raise, Mayor Mike Savage said jokingly Thursday at the Maritime Museum Wharf, where Theodore officially received his new position, according to Metro News. Over the years, many people arrived here, many under difficult circumstances, and helped make Canada the greatest country in the world, Savage said. The Theodore Too – the life-sized replica of the famous television character – is the new Halifax Welcome Ambassador for new Nova Scotians and will serve as a learning tool for school groups. Welcoming and embracing diversity makes our communities better places to live, added provincial communities, culture and heritage minister Tony Ince. Every time I walk down on the wharf and see him, I smile, Legault said. Claudette Legault, director of programs and services at Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia, said the tugboat will help serve as a symbolic reminder of the city welcoming of Syrian refugees.
