The Halifax Grain Elevator is an industrial facility located at the Port of Halifax in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. Operating since 1925, the elevator stores and exports commodities such as grains, soybeans, and wood pellets. The elevator is operated by Halifax Grain Elevator Limited, which has a lease on the facility due to expire at the end of 2026. The 50-year development plan released by the Port of Halifax in 2022 includes infilling the berth used by the grain elevator, a decision that would affect its ability to export.

Holy Cross Cemetery (Halifax, Nova Scotia)
Holy Cross Cemetery (Halifax, Nova Scotia)

Holy Cross Cemetery is a cemetery in Halifax, Nova Scotia, owned and operated by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth. It was constructed in 1843 under the direction of Archbishop William Walsh, on land provided by local authorities. Holy Cross Cemetery replaced the first Catholic cemetery in Halifax, the St. Peter's Cemetery located next to St. Mary's Basilica on Spring Garden Road. Since 1843, some 25,000 persons have been buried at Holy Cross, many of Irish descent, including Canada's fourth Prime Minister, Sir John Sparrow Thompson.Our Lady of Sorrows Chapel is said to have been built in one day on Aug. 31, 1843 by 2,000 volunteers, although the foundation and some prefabrication had been done in advance. The chapel's modest design is described as a Nova Scotian expression of Gothic revivalism. The furnishings are sparse and modest but the altar reliefs have received national recognition, and the windows have been described as a nationally significant collection of stained glass.Holy Cross Cemetery served as the primary for Halifax Catholics until 1896, and although interments continued through the twentieth-century the site had fallen into disrepair by 2005. The Holy Cross Cemetery Trust was established in 2006, and a program of restoration and beautification by volunteers has been in progress since 2008, repairing fences, the chapel, and 1800 of the current 2500 gravemarkers.
