Coun. Waye Mason disappointed with close vote, predicts Cornwallis debate will return
The name Edward Cornwallis — the controversial founder of Halifax — will remain on municipal properties after the regional council defeated a motion on Tuesday night that would have had experts and the public weigh in on the issue.
Cornwallis, a governor of Nova Scotia, was a British military officer who founded Halifax in 1749. He issued the so-called scalping proclamation the same year, in which he offered a cash bounty to anyone who killed a Mi’kmaq person.
Council debated for more than an hour on the issue, before voting 8-7 to defeat the motion.
