Emera Oval New Year’s Eve events cancelled due to weather, ice conditions

The Halifax Regional Municipality announced Tuesday that the New Year’s Eve public skates and fireworks scheduled to take place in the evening at the Emera Oval have been cancelled due to weather conditions.

However, the concert and fireworks scheduled to take place at Grand Parade have not been affected.

Organizers for that event tweeted shortly after 1 p.m. that despite the weather, “everything’s still a go.”
