Ce que nous faisons

Friends of the HalifaxCommon (FHC) is Halifax’s only organization dedicated to protecting the Halifax Common—a mission we’ve carried out since 2006.

Campagne

FHC educates city officials and the public by speaking at meetings and organizing letter-writing campaigns and public protests. We communicate to you through the media, our news blog, fb page, and a monthly newsletter.

Protéger

As Halifax becomes more densely populated, access to outdoor space is decreasing, particularly for apartment dwellers. We need to protect shared green space that supports daily recreation, social connection, and mental well-being.

Améliorer

As our Common is 'shrinking' by the year we aim to reclaim common lands now occupied by buildings and pavement. We advocate for natural and environmentally sustainable enhanments contributing to climate resilience.
