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.

And Beaver Bank spelled correctly, long standing issue lol

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.

Had a blast today participating in the annual Dartmouth Community Bike Ride with some Council colleagues,HRP, HRM staff and community members. We rode to the Shubie Pump Track and back, then finished off with some bbq courtesy of Chefs Becky and Nancy!

Today schedule consists of a meeting with a local sports club and then this afternoon I’ll be joining Deputy Mayor Mancini and some Council Colleagues for the 12th Annual Dartmouth Community Bike ride. I have my bike all tuned up and ready to go!

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.

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

Today myself and the remaining volunteers of the William Henry Little Park Society have begun a restoration of this little nature park on Old Sackville Road in Lower Sackville. I’ve traded in the suit for a power saw as we work away in the coming weeks to reclaim our space in nature.

I often get a lot of correspondence in regards to issues pertaining to other levels of government. This graphic is a great starting guide on where to direct your inquiry.
