Flags at Lunenburg Town Hall will be lowered to half-mast in remembrance of and to honour the life of former Premier of Nova Scotia, the Honourable John Hamm.

Dr. Hamm served Nova Scotians as Premier of Nova Scotia from 1999 to 2006 and as the MLA for Pictou Centre from 1993 to 2006. His years of public service and leadership left a lasting impact on communities across the province.

In accordance with provincial protocol, flags will remain at half-mast until sunset on the day of his funeral or memorial service.

On behalf of the Town of Lunenburg Council and staff, we extend our sincere condolences to Dr. Hamm's family and friends, and to all Nova Scotians mourning his passing.
