History
The Nova Scotia Commission Appointed to Inquire into and Concerning the Boundary Line Between the Counties of Cumberland and Colchester was created by Order-in-Council dated January 14, 1954. Justice J.L. Ilsley, Chief Justice of Nova Scotia, was appointed chairperson with Justice W.L. Hall, and Justice Vincent C. MacDonald, judges of the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia, appointed as co-commissioners. Arthur L. Thurlow, lawyer of Bridgewater, was appointed Counsel for the Commission. Its mandate was to determine the boundary line between Cumberland and Colchester Counties at a disputed section along the Harrington River near the town of Parrsboro. The Commission had a survey conducted of the river and surrounding lands by Department of Lands and Forests employee Joseph Archibald, in July and August 1956. Public hearings were held on February 28, April 3, 1956 and June 18, 1957 in Halifax and written submissions from interested individuals and corporations were accepted. The Commission submitted its report to Premier Robert L. Stanfield on January 8, 1959 and then disbanded.
