Mayret'urn, to Halifax The two cannons that for 86 years stood at the entrances to the Ontario County courthouse and then Durham, Region headquarters building wilI likely be returned home to Halifax, N.S. The Halifax Citadel Foundation has asked Durham Region to return the guns as they are important pieces of period ordnance in the restoration of the citadel. Whitby archivist Brian Winter relates that the coastal defence cannons, made at the Woolwich Arsenal in England in '1866, were obsolete when obtained by Ontario County (through the initiative of clerk Col. J.E. Farewell) in 1901 from the citadel. The can nons were beside the front door of the Ontaro County courthouse (now Centennial building) in Whitby from.1902 until 1964 when they were moved to the then *new county'headquarters building on Rossland Rd. Winter said he agrees with the proposed' relocation of the cannons, each weigking 14 tons, becaulse "they should be back where they belong," and more people Will be' able to see them in Halifax than at their present location. The Halifax Citadel National Historic Park has 1.5 million visitors each year. Durham Region council is to consider the request.
