Dear Friends of Halifax Common, Please join FHC for our 2022 AGM.

Our meeting will focus on the draft Halifax Common Master Plan. That’s because In February HRM Mayor & Council asked HRM staff to undertake more public consultation on the draft Plan, but apart from an on-line survey HRM staff has been silent. See details here: https://www.shapeyourcityhalifax.ca/halifax-common-master-plan

After a quick update on FHC work there will be five short presentations by FHC Directors about the draft Plan. The goal is to help you better understand the draft so you can complete the survey and or send comments to HRM Staff and Council. We also want to hear from you so there will be a Q&A. Details below:

Date: Tuesday November 29th, 2022

Time:  6:30 – 8:45

Place: Halifax  Central Library, Room 301, Spring Garden Road

Presentations: Halifax Common Master Plan: a 5 part guided tour

Many citizens feel helpless these days. Being active and engaged is a good countermeasure. Please plan to attend, hear ideas, join the discussions and have your say.
