Remembering the Funeral for a Nova Scotia Post Office (St. Margaret's Bay, NS, 1987)

/

In November 1987, the small community of Head of St. Margaret’s Bay, Nova Scotia, gathered for an unusual funeral—not for a person, but for their beloved post office. With bagpipes playing, wreaths laid, and a black shroud draped over a makeshift urn, residents mourned more than just the loss of a mail counter. They were saying goodbye to a way of life.

In this episode, Keep Canada Weird Remembers the funeral for the Canada Post office in Verna Dunlop’s home.
