It’s the end of an era.
Theodore Too tooted off to Ontario this week and the Great Big Harbour is less colourful for it.
Watching working tugs from the waterfront was a fun part of raising kids in the city for my family, but if you yearn for a visit with a boat wearing a hat, you can visit the Theodore Tugboat display at the Maritime Museum.
Another big part of my past Halifax weekends – breakfast at the Athens – is leaving us by the end of the summer. I’m hoping to hit that patio before the restaurant says goodbye!
It’s an end of the SALT era for me, as well. I’m leaving my SaltWire roles for a new opportunity. Unlike Theodore Too, I’m staying put in Nova Scotia and you can still find me on Twitter, but I’ll no longer be showing up in your email each week.
Your response to this newsletter has brought me a joy over the past 14 months. Thank you for reading and for sharing your ideas and opinions with me.
Special thanks to our most recent SALT newsletter team – Jill, Steve and Spencer – and to our guest writers over the past year.
I hope that SALT will continue to provide a wrap of Halifax news under new leadership. In the meantime, follow SALT on Twitter and Instagram.
Be well and be kind to your neighbours.
