N.S. judge puts end to Halifax’s heritage designation for south end property

A Nova Scotia Supreme Court Justice has put an end to Halifax’s heritage designation for a property in the city’s south end. Dalhousie University bought the lot in July 2021 with intentions of demolishing the Victorian home, but city councillors voted in favour of designating it as a heritage property. Last week, a judge called HRM’s decision “fundamentally flawed.” Callum Smith reports.
