Halifax Public Gardens closed over the holidays

 

Friday, Dec. 21, 2012 (Halifax, NS) – The Halifax Public Gardens will be closed over the holidays beginning Saturday, Dec.22, 2012, until Wednesday, Jan. 2, 2013.

The Gardens will continue to be open by chance Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. during the winter season. If the gates are open the public is welcome to enter.

Please keep in mind that Gardens staff members are part of the Municipal Operations division for the municipality and there will be days when they have snow removal obligations that take them away from the Public Gardens. If no staff members are available or if snow and ice conditions make paths through the Gardens dangerous, the Gardens will not be open. Also, services in the Gardens will be limited for winter with no washrooms or coffee shop open until the spring.
