How did the Halifax explosion bring the war home to Canada?
i dont know? i want to know the same thing! xXx The Halifax Explosion opened Canada's eyes about the war, people on the Homefront (people in Canada) were devistated, the explosion claimed 1,900 lives and 9,000 were left injured, as well as flatening almost all the North end of Halifax to nothing, leaving halifax looking like a war zone. Canada ended up spending 18 million to repair Halifax. Halifax was one of the largest shipping ports at the time, it supplied mostly mulitia for the war from and to places like Britain.

Does Halifax have a celebration every year for the Halifax explosion?
Every December 6, at 9:00 a.m. (the time of the explosion in 1917 was 9:04 a.m.), there is a memorial service at the base of the Explosion Memorial Tower. The monument is in Fort Needham Park, in the area of the city that was known at the time as Richmond, and that was destroyed in the blast. Survivors are always honoured at the service and, at the 2011 service, there were still two survivors present. It's a very moving tribute every year.
How did Boston help in the Halifax harbor explosion in 1917?
The city of Boston and the state of Massachussetts dispatched a relief train to Halifax filled with doctors, nurses and medical supplies within about 12 hours after the explosion. Remarkably, they decided to send the train based on very little information about what was going on in Halifax at the time. (Most lines of communication were down.) Over the next several days, more trains filled with medical aid and humanitarian supplies were sent to Halifax, and Bostonians sent millions of dollars worth of supplies and financial aid. Haligonians never forgot the city's help. Some of the first emergency housing erected after the explosion was named after Massachussetts' governor, and in 1918 Halifax sent Boston a large Christmas tree as a gift. The tradition was revived in the 1970s and every Christmas the large Boston Christmas tree is a gift from the people of Nova Scotia.
