Halifax council considered being like ‘petulant children’ to the province

they plan to support the city in pushing back against these provincial mandates that may not be in the best interest of Halifax residents. The decisions made by the outgoing council during their final meeting show a commitment to improving public safety, streamlining the city’s organizational structure, and advocating for the city’s best interests in the face of provincial interference.

Overall, the October 1 council meeting may have been overshadowed by the municipal election campaign, but the decisions made during that meeting will have long-lasting implications for the city of Halifax. From the creation of the Public Safety Commissioner role to the ongoing battle over the Blue Mountain-Birch Cove Lakes area, there are important issues at play that will shape the future of our city.

Let’s make sure we are informed and engaged in the decisions that will shape our city’s future.
