There was a story that mentioned the possible opening of Georges Island sometime in the future (as previously promised by the Federal government). Here is a link to the full Chronicle Herald story - http://thechronicleherald.ca/metro/1...-rules-prevail

Whenever you take care and control of a rented property you need to return it in the condition in which you received it.”
Although the public cannot normally visit the island, Parks Canada is considering hosting a public event the day after the concert.
Water, sewage and electrical upgrades have been undertaken on the island, which Ottawa has promised to open to the public on a regular basis sometime in the future.
Georges is home to Fort Charlotte, an unmanned radar station, lighthouse and a series of tunnels.
Murphy’s Sailing Tours Ltd. has won the contract to ferry people to and from the island during the concert.
The tall ships will be in Halifax from July 19-23 and tour the rest of the province from July 25-29.
