The voting in the Nova Scotia Museum contest for Remarkable Nova Scotians since 1867 ended last week. I have seen the winners, but I’m afraid I cannot share that information. I’m sorry.

Those winners, plus the other individuals already chosen for each decade since the 1860s through to the 2010s will be revealed when the exhibit opens at the Museum in Halifax in time for July 1, 2017. That’s not too long to wait. In fact, it means the design and fabrication process have a lot to do in a short span.

I have been busy shortening the bios down to a reasonable length for an exhibit text. Meanwhile, the idea of having a book with the longer biographies of all 50 or so people considered is gaining momentum. I’ll post more news here when I have some.

For a look at the 300 to 400-word biographies that were up for public voting, please go to:
