I found it interesting that a large part of the job will be to repair damage that was caused by the Halifax Explosion:

Job No. 1: Fix damage from Halifax Explosion
The first phase will rebuild the armoury's west wall, which faces the Halifax Common on North Park Street.
Officials believe it has slowly been tilting outward since the building was damaged — and later quickly repaired — in the Halifax Explosion.
Cables were bolted to the wall as part of the temporary repair but recently the lean has been increasing as the building ages.
"Remediation was done at the time to hold it back but the mortar is washing out: the stone is loose. So we are renovating that wall first," Howes said in an interview, speaking from Ottawa.
