Peace and Friendship Park is the new name for a Halifax park that was originally named for Edward Cornwallis, the city s founder.
Halifax regional council made the change official in a unanimous vote Tuesday following the recommendation of a task force last year.
A statue of Cornwallis that used to be in the park in the city s south end was taken down and placed in storage in 2018. That followed a number of demonstrations drawing attention to his so-called scalping proclamation against Mi kmaw men, women and children.
