History
The Nova Scotia Royal Commission on Queen Hotel Fire, Hollis Street, Halifax was created by Order-in-Council dated March 8, 1939. Justice Maynard B. Archibald, judge of the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia, was appointed commissioner. Its mandate was to investigate the cause of a fatal fire at the Queen Hotel on Hollis Street in Halifax on March 2, 1939, determine what fire prevention or suppression measures were in place, to review the practice of building inspections, and to recommend improvements for buildings in the City of Halifax and the Province of Nova Scotia to better protect human life in case of fire. The Royal Commission held hearings at Halifax from March 20 to May 12, 1939. Justice Archibald submitted his final report to Government on November 25, 1939 and then disbanded.
