- Summary
- "The Province of Nova Scotia invested more than $6-million into renovating and restoring Government House Halifax between 2006 and 2009. The building has gone from being the most dilapidated official residence in Canada to the most modern, efficient, accessible and up-to-date. As the ceremonial home of Nova Scotians, the house is open for tours and related events. On the tenth anniversary of the restoration, this book helps to raise awareness about the history of Government House and helps encourage additional visitors. This book is rich in photographs to convey the history and purpose of Government House. The book blends the historical background and events that have shaped Government House and Nova Scotia with the present purpose and use of the building and the Office of the Lieutenant Governor. The overall focus is on the building and its life/events that have transpired there. It does not focus on any particular past or present Lieutenant Governor. Throughout the text, vignettes of former Lieutenant Governors, consorts, staff and those involved with the building of the house are included."--
