Celebrating the Christmas Season at Province House

HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY--Celebrating the Christmas Season at Province House

Province House is all set for the Christmas season. The tree is trimmed, the lights are lit and the official Province House Christmas card has been sent out.

Murray Scott, Speaker of the House of Assembly, invites all Nova Scotians and visitors to come to the historic building to enjoy the decorations.

This year's card features the official Christmas tree on display in the Red Chamber. The tree, a balsam fir was hand-picked and donated by the Lunenburg County Christmas Tree Producers Association.

Province House will participate in the National Capital Commission's annual Christmas Lights Across Canada program. The program co-ordinates the display of lights on Parliament Hill and at provincial and territorial legislatures throughout Canada as a national symbol of unity and goodwill.

Province House is open to the public from Monday to Friday, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. It is located at 1726 Hollis St., Halifax.
