The library site is on a massive burial ground, with an estimated 20,000 remains buried underneath it.
More than two years ago the Presbyterian Church of Halifax paid approximately $1.2 million to reinter the remains of 244 bodies buried beneath part of its property leased to a local developer for construction of an apartment building.
Mac Mackay, a church historian, told Global News that the bodies were discovered, removed and respectfully reinterred in the church’s crypt before the building’s construction began.“We don’t wanna see condominiums here. If the building has to be dismantled, we’d like to see part of it kept as an actual war memorial,” he said.
