ORIGINAL BELLS TO BE INSTALLED AT CITY HALL?
Hey everyone!
Back in September CBC and Global News reported that the Municipality had issued a tender on Sept. 2nd seeking a contractor to replace the City Hall clocks but most interestingly to reinstall the original two bells that hung in the belfry tower. If I'm reading the tender correctly it closed on Sept. 24th and was awarded to Black & McDonald on Oct. 11th.
I haven't been able to find any kind of an update though on whether this is going ahead or not and if so what the timeline is. I'm wondering if anyone has heard anything? If Black & McDonald were awarded the tender it should be a go ahead, right?
Both news stories are about a 2-3min read and there's some pretty interesting info on the history of the bells. Apparently the smaller one used to be the bell that was at
The City Market Building.... thought that was kind of cool.
Anyway, if anyone has any info I'd love to hear it!
