Last night I had the pleasure of attending the Sackville Rivers Association annual dinner and auction with some colleagues, representing 3 levels of government.The SRA are stewards of our beloved rivers who do amazing work with limited resources. Not all heroes wear capes, some wear rubber boots.

More disinformation. Is that what I believe? Where did you hear that? Have you been following my platform and seeing what I am trying to achieve in Lower Sackville- Beaver Bank with regard to Active Transportation?

Really? Patting myself on the back. Trying to have a little fun with residents. Beaver Bank was misspelled, not the graffiti.Hundreds wanted it changed for years and have tried.Not one complaint has been received from the community regarding this intersection or its perceived dangers like you claim.

Visited Dartmouth Cove today with colleague Jean St Amand and a guided walking tour with @samaustind5.bsky.social. We chatted with residents on the trail and watched a seal nearby. Such a beautiful space.

Hey Rasta, I’m with you there and I think this hike is outrageous. Halifax Water are their own Utility with their own CEO, that operates independently from HRM. The rates are set by the NS Regulatory Board. Mayor Fillmore has written a letter to the board asking for gradual increase over 5 years.

There wil be a new crosswalk with RA-5 flashing beacons installed on Cobequid Road and Hillside Avenue near civic #111.

Never mind I think I know what happened. The top screen changed faster than the voting screen.

That is not the correct voting screenshot. Maynard street passed unanimously and more than 3 votes were cast against Dartmouth cove motion
