Every year, Nova Scotia provides Boston with its official yuletide tree as a thank you for the city's response to the 1917 #HalifaxExplosion
An estimated 2,000 people died and 9,000 more were injured.
Aid from #Boston was the 1st to arrive, and the response has not been forgotten.
The #TreeForBoston will leave Halifax on Nov. 21st for its 1,100-kilometre journey to Massachusetts. A tree-lighting ceremony will take place at the Boston Common on Dec. 1st.
@MeanwhileinCanada This is one of my favorite winter stories.
