Rally Against Cutting 37 Mature Trees for the QEII Hospital Expansion
Corner of Robie Street and Bell Road
Friday, November 3rd, 12:00 to 1:00PM
FHC has sent a second letter to Premier Houston and Mayor Savage about their plans to cut 37 trees along Robie, Bell Road and Summer: 2023 FHC 2nd letter Mayor, Premier re tree cutting
We wrote again to ask why we aren’t hearing back from our July letter:2023 FHC Mayor, Premier re tree cutting
Cutting down 37 mature, historic trees along Robie, Bell Road and Summer St is not acceptable in 2023.
We are living with the effect of climate change – Fiona, floods, fires. Nova Scotians want faster better healthcare but it isn’t a case of hospitals or trees; better planning can give us both. Set the building back to protect the trees. They can never be replaced.
Help protect the trees.
Write premier@novascotia.ca, mayor@halifax.ca & waye.mason@halifax.ca. Tell them to…
-
- Protect the 37 trees on Robie, Bell Rd & Summer by having the hospital building set back from the sidewalk so the tree rootballs are not harmed;
- Follow good urban planning principles and engage in meaningful public consultation.
- Be collaborative in working to keeping a healthy environment for a healthy population and climate.
