Twenty-five years ago, the people of Lunenburg, N.S., filled a time capsule and buried it on the town's 247th birthday.
This past Saturday, the town dug up the capsule, relieving memories from a quarter-century ago.
'The Bluenose Academy partnered with the town to put the time capsule together after Y2K,' said Mayor Jamie Myra.
Myra said the capsule features pictures of the Bluenose Academy, a letter from then-prime minister Jean Chretien and documents on town committee meetings and bylaws.

Myra said the town plans to refill another time capsule this fall.
