HALIFAX Thursday marks the 30th anniversary of the murder of Carla Gail Strickland and Halifax Regional Police say their investigators continue to work on the case. Police say at 12:58 p.m. on June 5, 1991, police responded to a report of a person who was believed to be deceased along the north side of Lake Mic Mac adjacent to Highway 118 in Dartmouth. The victim was identified as Carla Gail Strickland and an autopsy by the medical examiner determined her death to be a homicide. Police say Strickland had spent the evening of June 2, 1991, celebrating a friend’s birthday at a popular Halifax club. She then went to Albro Lake Beach in Dartmouth with three other people where they stayed until dawn when Strickland was dropped off at the Tim Horton’s on Wyse Road in Dartmouth. This was the last time she was seen.

HALIFAX When builders created Halifax’s distinctive Hydrostone neighbourhood more than a century ago, they chose to honour celebrated explorers. There are streets named after William Grant Stairs, Christopher Columbus, John Cabot and Henry Morton Stanley, among others.
But now some residents are taking a closer look at the legacies of the men the streets are named for, part of a national trend examining whether people honoured on the country’s maps are worthy of celebration.
