Can McNabs Island become HRM's Central Park?
An illustrated talk by Professor Patricia Manual and Dalhousie University planning students.
Making McNabs and Lawlor Islands Provincial Park relevant in the Halifax urban context? This is the question posed last fall to 17 senior students in Dalhousie University's School of Planning, Bachelor of Community Design Program. Together with professors Patricia Manuel and John Zuck, they set out to find the answer.
Students were given the challenge of investigating McNabs Island's potential as HRM's "central" park. What is needed to make McNabs a major urban park? And, how do coastal processes affect development plans and programming?
The students will talk about their findings and their experiences through an illustrated presentation at the Friends of McNabs Island Society's AGM on April 15 at 7PM at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. Come find out what they discovered!
