On this day we think about The Halifax Explosion that happened at 9:04am December 6, 1917. Nearly 2000 people lost their lives.
We hope that through the stories we tell, the past is remembered and the lives lost are never forgotten.

A NOTE ABOUT DOGS:
Although we like dogs, for the comfort of all our guests, some of whom may not be ok with dogs, we ask that you leave your dog(s) at home or with a dog sitter.
The nature of our tour is based on storytelling and creating an atmosphere that draws our guests into the stories. If a dog on the tour has a reaction or barks at a dog passing by with its owner, or if more than one dog is brought to the tour and they don’t get along, it breaks the spell and becomes distracting for the other guests and for the guides themselves.
I thank you for you understanding.

I received an email from Event Brite tonight congratulating me on our first event and asking me to promote it.

Reminder, we do not use third party booking sites and only do direct booking either though messenger, or email dustyshalifaxghostwalk (at) gmail (dot) com

If you get any promotion of a Halifax Ghost Walk on a third party site, it is not us. And we’d be grateful if you let us know.

Thanks,
Dusty
