Page 32 - DesBarres's Plans for Sydney

ISSUE : Issue 38

Published by Ronald Caplan on 1985/1/1

Thomas Townsend, Lord Sydney. As is Sydney, Australia. Sydney, Nova Scotia, is a few years older. So all of this shows the great hope that he had for the city, the ambition that he had for the city. And he names a street after himself--the first street is DesBarres. Good for him! And oth? er members of the royal family, and mili? tary leaders. Lord Dorchester, who was the governor general of Canada at the time, in Quebec. He knew where the government house would be, and where the courthouse would be. And what they would look like. We have all the plans. He drew up a plan for a beautiful domed church in the round. That eventually, I think, transmogrified into St. George's round church in Halifax--which DesBarres helped plan. Then, being a capital city, he brought the military--the 33rd regiment. Arrived in By Sandra Rizzato (author & Patsy MacAulay MacKinnon (illustrator), New Water? ford.
