Yesterday, HRM Council voted in favour of supporting Downtown Halifax Vision 2030. As Councillor White so adequately put it “This report is aspirational and we should not lose sight of that just because times are tough. We have to have vision!” globalnews.ca/video/11801467…
February 17 was Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) Day and we celebrated by painting kindness rocks and hiding them all over Downtown Halifax.

Great news!
Nova Scotia is taking another step to grow our economy and make life easier for local businesses.
We reached new agreements with Ottawa and other provinces to cut red tape and remove old trade barriers in key sectors like goods, trucking, and financial services. This will open more markets for Nova Scotian companies, strengthen supply chains, and help us build a stronger, more self-reliant province.
More trade means more jobs, higher paycheques, and more revenue to invest in the services people count on — without raising taxes.
This is about one Canadian economy, not 13. And we’re going to keep pushing for changes that move our province forward.
