The "Welcome to Dartmouth" sign has called the Alderney Gate pedway home for 28 years, a focal point for those getting off the ferry. The Halifax Regional Municipality has decided to put the sign up for sale in an online auction, with all proceeds going to charity. (Halifax Regional Municipality)The sale came as a shock to Gloria McCluskey, Dartmouth's former mayor who continues to be the community's biggest advocate. They'll probably put up a 'Welcome to Halifax' sign now. "I'm glad that staff have saved the iconic welcome sign, and that the proceeds will go back into Downtown Dartmouth."
