Halifax Regional Centre for Education (HRCE) announced Wednesday that Sir John A. Macdonald High School in Upper Tantallon will be renamed Bay View High School, while Tallahassee Community School in Eastern Passage will be renamed Horizon Elementary School. The process to rename Sir John A. Macdonald High School began last November, after a years-long discourse on Macdonald’s legacy.
