Every year at this time, Nova Scotia sends a Christmas tree to #Boston as thanks for their incredible support to our city of #Halifax after the devastating #HalifaxExplosion on Dec 6, 1917.
Boston authorities, alerted to the disaster via telegraph, immediately dispatched a relief train full of personnel, medical supplies, food, and water to assist survivors.
Got to see it today before it ships out.
Magnificent gift 🌲
@brucefraser what a lovely story. i wish we'd remember more about all the times we've helped each other out rather than choosing to shit on each other, blissfully forgetting that we all need friends in time of need.
