Nova Scotia’s annual tree for Boston, begun in 1917, reflects a continuing relationship shaped by relief efforts and intercity ties.

The Boston Tree. Every year Nova Scotia sends a huge Christmas tree to Boston as thanks for their help during the Halifax Explosion aftermath in 1917. 1700 were killed, 9000 injured. I got to see it in 2022. #bostontree #bostoncommon #givingthanks #halifaxexplosion #goodneighbours #disasterrelief
