This is what was left following the initial demolition of Reid House in Avonport, a registered heritage property. FILE PHOTOKENTVILLE, N.S. — Previously set dates have been adjourned and new trial dates set for a developer and his company on charges relating to the demolition of Avonport’s historic Reid House.
On Oct. 12, defence for Nahas and the company requested an adjournment of the trial dates, which the Crown agreed to. The trial is now scheduled for three days, Jan. 8, 9, and 11, 2024. The company and owner have waived Section 11 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which protects an accused individual’s right to a trial within a reasonable time.
Nahas had earlier been charged with demolishing the dwelling associated with the Reid House under the Heritage Property Act; and with excavating the protected site of the Reid House and removing objects without a permit under the Special Places Protection Act. However, these two charges were dismissed without penalty on Dec. 20, 2021.
This is how Avonport’s historic Reid House appeared prior to its demolition in December 2020. FILE PHOTO- Reid House was located to the immediate south of Highway 101 in Avonport and was visible from the highway.
