HALIFAX --
A street in Sydney, N.S., has a new name, and not only does it have a nice ring to it, but the meaning behind it is making one community more proud than ever.
The road, known to many locals as Sydney’s ‘Road to Nowhere,’ was recently renamed to Crawford Crossing -- a tribute to the Maritimes’ first Black municipal police officer.
Carl ‘Campy’ Crawford, a longtime resident of Whitney Pier, N.S., joined the Sydney Police Force in 1964.
Although he wasn’t looking to make history when he joined the force, that’s exactly what he did with a street now named in his memory.
