Halifax Regional Municipality, project developer The Hardman Group, the Nova Scotia Museum and Dr. Stephen Davis, Archeologist, St. Mary's University, collaborated on a process to develop a research schedule which kept the project on time and on budget, yet also achieved the broader goals of researching our community's heritage.
