Pollution - Problems[edit]

Is the fact that the harbour smells differently to different people a problem caused by pollution? I'm debating removing that part. Andrew ⁶⁴⁷ 19:36, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support removal, it does not add anything to the article. --Bryson^{Talk}^{Edits} 20:38, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

1942 image[edit]

I have never edited any of the Halifax pages, but I came across a nice image from 1942. You may wish to go through some of my other commons uploads from the history of Nova Scotia as well.

Merge Proposal[edit]

Against- One article is about the physical characteristics of the harbour itself, the other about the bureaucracy that runs it. Aloha27 talk 18:44, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Against, as noted by Aloha27, the articles are about different things. PK T(alk) 13:35, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
