'We are on the right side of history, acknowledging the real history of this place and willing to make these changes.'

Here's what you can expect at the July 21, 2020, edition of Halifax council.

It's time to rename streets and parks, and invest in infrastructure that celebrates Indigenous history, says the joint task force.

Federal officials say the icebreaker, known as Canadian Coast Guard Ship Edward Cornwallis, is undergoing a refit in Nova Scotia and will be renamed later this year before it leaves the Shelburne Shipyard.

Fisheries Minister Bernadette Jordan was in Shelburne, N.S., Monday to say the government will be funding repair work on the Canadian Coast Guard ship Edward Cornwallis, supporting 55 jobs at the Irving-owned Shelburne Ship Repair.

A final round of public engagement sessions is now underway to examine Halifax's colonial history and its Indigenous heritage.

Edward Cornwallis, the controversial founder of Halifax, is known for putting a bounty on Mi’kmaq scalps in 1749 while serving as governor of Nova Scotia.

The task force itself will not be finalizing their report until late 2020.

Residents discussed the fate of the Cornwallis statue, which was removed from the park bearing its name in January last year.

On Thursday, residents will be asked for the first time to offer their opinions at a highly anticipated official public meeting.
