Alderney Landing: Festival and Information Report

alderney landing: In recent years, the festival and concert have been held at Alderney Landing in Dartmouth, according to The Chronicle Herald. But for Canada 150, the municipality says the Halifax Common is the best location as it can safely accommodate estimated crowds of more than 40,000 people. An information report from the Parks and Recreation Department outlines the municipality's plans for the July 1 festival called, We Are Canadian Nous Sommes Canadiens 2017. The location also aligns with the Canada 150 funding pillars, which encourage the use of outdoor communal spaces. The festival will run from noon until midnight. The HRM has received funding from Canadian Heritage, but the report says the amount will remain confidential until official announcements are made. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
