The RCR Gate, Halifax RHQ received a SITREP on 8 Sep from the regimental ERE officer following this issue in Halifax; recopied below from his separate e-mail exchange. Note background context – when this subject was first 4/7
eported to RHQ it was indicated that RPOU(A) had contacted DHH regarding funding for the restoration of the gate. A regimental officer posted to DHH noted this in a past RHQ SITREP, queried it within DHH and it transpires that DHH is not involved after all, as the quoted text below clarifies: E-mail 8 Sep: “No work has been done on it: I physically checked yesterday. There is still an active Work Request in with RPOU(A) to have the gate rehabilitated. I queried for an update again with the Det Comd last week, his plans staff last week and his coordination officer on Tues. There will be an RPCC on 29 Sep where we will bring it up…RP Ops has not involved DHH to my knowledge. The “heritage people” that they deal with is the Federal Heritage Buildings Review Office (FHBRO - http://www.pc.gc.ca/eng/progs/beefp-fhbro/index.aspx). The Gate is not a listed or designated site but as it is historic, RP Ops indicated to me that they would contact FHBRO. The Gate will not be impacted by the upcoming teardown of A-block or the movement of the Almon Access Gate according to the Project Manager. No timeline on when those projects will start.” 14. Presentation of copy of HRH bust to Rideau Hall RHQ is monitoring the means for information regarding a commemorative event to be held in the future. 15.
