Over the years,
Historic City Hall
has been not just
the seat of civic
government but also
a court and a jail, and the site
of numerous notable visitors to the
city, including members of the Royal
family from King George to Princess
Elizabeth. Once
it became appar-
ent the stone work
was falling into disre-
pair (a stone fell onto an
upper balcony in 2014), there
was little hesitation by council to raise
$34.1 million to restore the building.
Scheduled for completion in 2020,
“This is really a wonderful
project to be a part of.”
