Charles Crosby

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charles (Tick) Crosby is the mayor of the town of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. Since 2004, he has been the head of the Union of Nova Scotia Municipalities.

Crosby was elected in the early 1990s. During his early years in office, the town was experienceing a difficult time in its history: the town lost its largest employer, the Dominion Textile factory. The Canadian National Railway pulled out in 1990. Crosby advanced a plan to bring jobs to the town by turning the closed tin mine into a home for Halifax's waste, however the plan met strong opposition from environmentalists. Since then, much of the centre of town has been refurbished as the area has become centered on the tourist trade.
