Default Changing of the Guard

Dropped down to watch the parade of units celebrating 100 years since
the British Imperial Army left Halifax in 1906.
At a wharfside ceremony the Captain of HMS Scott (Hydrographic ship)
presented out Lt Governor with a chart of local waters drawn by Capt
James Cook when he was stationed here.
