@hfxrobb if you mean first paid Saturday - we have been told July (sometime.) But, there will be a notice sent from HRM that we will def. share.

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!” https://t.co/UPZYOIu56g

Great news!

[Tim Houston @TimHoustonNS]

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.
