THE HALIFAX COMMON NEEDS OUR HELP!
On January 20th, HRM’s Community Planning and Economic Development (CPED)
Standing Committee will review a new 500 page Halifax Common Master Plan
for referral to HRM Council for final approval. But the public haven’t seen
the Plan since the summer of 2019.
Lack of further public consultation is just one of the Friends of Halifax
Common Executive's major concerns about the Plan. That’s why we are
requesting a delay in the approval process until the Plan first comes back
to the public for further consultation.
Now we’d like your help! Please Email the CPED Standing Committee c/o
clerks(a)halifax.ca to ask that they not approve the Plan and instead
recommend that it come back to the Public for further consultation.
Here’s our summary of what we believe needs to happen before the Master
Plan is adopted:
*1. *Needs to Come back to the Public for further Public Consultation
*2. *Need for the Master Plan to Better Reflect Public Input
*3. *Need to Address Major Imminent Disruptors to the Common
*4.* Need to Protect, Reclaim and Expand the Halifax Common
*5.* Need for Permanent HRM Citizens’ Stewardship Committee

Feel free to use this information for your email. Better yet, write from
your heart on why the Halifax Common Plan first needs to come back to the
public for further consultation before approval and why the Halifax Common
deserve a better plan! (Review the Plan here
<https://link.whc.ca/c/443/d7e6e892960cfdd7b7f6fade6791b47d54e289bcfaedfd6a2…>
.)
As we’ve all learned during COVID access to public open space is vital for
our physical and mental health. That’s why we need to protect it and plan
for more.
Thank you, FHC Executive

Hi everyone,
Just a note to advise that HRM has extended the Short-term Rental Survey to
January 31/22.
Many of you have likely completed the survey by now but if you are aware of
others that may want to contribute or be aware of the extension please let
them know.
Here is the link to the HRM Survey:
