The advisory committee tasked with looking into the commemoration of Edward Cornwallis and Indigenous history has morphed into an arm's length joint task force and it could take years to see final recommendations. The change was approved by Halifax officials in mid-December. "We thought it was more appropriate," said Chief Roderick Googoo, co-chair of the task force. When Halifax agreed to the change, municipal officials asked the task force to try to come up with recommendations within two years. Summaries of the private meetings will be posted.
