NEWS RELEASE
HALIFAX REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY
*************************
The Halifax Regional Municipality is looking for an artist from the African Nova Scotian community to assist in the development of an interpretive panel on the corner of Gottingen and Falkland streets, formerly known as Squiggle Park.
The interpretive panel is to reflect on the former use of the site as the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AMEZ) and the importance of the church and spirituality in the African Nova Scotian Community.
The municipality would like to include an artistic rendering of the AMEZ church, and is seeking an artist who will work with the municipality and the African Nova Scotian community to create a meaningful design.
