Transit advocates decry Halifax mayor's autocentric plan to address traffic congestion by providing more space for cars

"If transit is to work it must be freed from having to compete with cars for existing road space. That means bus lanes or other forms of separated rights of way"

Have old books? They're no longer accepted in curbside recycling under new extended producer responsibility rules. Donate them to a local charity (check first), to a community library box, or share them with friend. As a last resort, they go in the garbage. Learn more at: halifax.ca/recycling

Very close call which could easily have resulted in two fatalities.
HRM should provide a full statement and apology specific to this incident.

I’m pushing to stop the costly Halifax Forum redevelopment.

Instead, we should be investing in an affordable and sustainable rink on peninsular Halifax for our kids.

As families are tightening their belts, we need to do the same at City Hall.

If you have an extra few minutes after shovelling out your driveway today, consider digging out a fire hydrant or a bus stop or an elderly neighbour’s front steps. A good deed will make you feel good.
