\"Tree<\/p>\n

The Nova Scotia Tree for Boston is on the move from Pictou, Nova Scotia, to our friends in Boston, Massachusetts. Today I was lucky enough to meet some of the hard-working Nova Scotians who are making it happen! Would you like to meet them too? Read on!<\/p>\n

This morning, the Nova Scotia Tree for Boston<\/a> stopped at St. Stephen’s Elementary School in the North End of Halifax, on the way to Grand Parade, downtown Halifax, for the official sendoff. The atmosphere was exciting and a little bit emotional. Every single student, teacher, \u00a0and many parents from St. Stephen’s Elementary School were gathered outside the front of the building, wearing warm Nova Scotia winter hats, cheering loudly as the huge truck, led by police and\u00a0tailed by a\u00a0fire engine, made its stop in front of the school.<\/p>\n

\"Nova

Then, out of the truck jumped the man himself. No, not Santa! \u00a0It was our smiling Premier Stephen McNeil, who greeted the crowd and then shook hands and\/or high-fived nearly every kid in the school.<\/p>\n

\"Nova

While everyone else was busy taking photos of Premier McNeil and the kids, I took the opportunity to chat with two of the most important members of the Nova Scotia Tree for Boston operation: drivers David McFarland and Sheldon Garland. McFarland\u00a0is from Parrsboro, and this is his fourth year driving the tree to Boston. \u00a0Garland is from Baddeck and this is his second year. Both men are proud to be taking Nova’s Christmas gift down to the people of Boston, and looking forward to making a couple of more stops along the way, at two more schools in Truro and Amherst. The trip will take 2 days in total, but McFarland and Garland\u00a0aren’t sticking around for the ceremony in Boston. They’ll be coming home – back to work!<\/p>\n

I also spoke to a few members of the Halifax Regional Police, who were proudly escorting the cavalcade through Halifax today. “Are you going all the way to Boston”, I asked? \u00a0The resounding answer, in chorus: “We wish!”.<\/p>\n

\"Nova

Members of the Halifax Regional Police: they would love to be going all the way to Boston!<\/p><\/div>\n

My next stop was the fire engine, which for once, was relegated to the sidelines, sitting behind the tree-truck. Even though its lights were flashing, no one seemed to notice! Firefighter Michael Crookes, pictured below, said he’s not going all the way to Boston either, but he’s delighted to spend the morning escorting the tree through Halifax. He said, \u00a0” I turned up for my shift today, and they told me I’d be doing this!”<\/p>\n

In\u00a0a sobering\u00a0speech of gratitude to Boston by our town crier, we remembered the pain and suffering of The\u00a01917 Halifax Explosion<\/a>, and how truly grateful we are for Boston’s help.<\/p>\n

\"Nova

And then, as if by magic, the crowd broke into\u00a0a rousing chorus of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”. \u00a0Finally, a group of students gathered in front of CTV cameras to send a greeting to our American friends. The simple message: “Merry Christmas Boston!”<\/p>\n

\"Nova

Merry Christmas Boston!<\/p><\/div>\n

Along with the rest of Nova Scotians, I wish the tree and its drivers, a very safe journey down to Massachusetts, and my very best wishes to Boston. Merry Christmas!<\/p>\n

\"Nova

Safe travels, tree!<\/p><\/div>\n

Goodbye tree, and thanks for visiting us in the North End of Halifax!<\/p>\n
