Petition to Protect the Halifax Common 

Proposed 7-storey parking garage next to the NS Museum of Natural History, Bengal Lancers and Wanderers Grounds. The steam / power plant will be on the north (right) side. (model by Marcel Tarnogorski)

Update: Congratulations, you made the difference! A sincere thank you to everyone who took the time to send an email, sign the petition and show support for the Halifax Common. On Tuesday Feb 25, Waye Mason tabled the petition at HRM Council. FHC is working to have the petition tabled at the Nova Scotia Legislature. An important goal is to have legislative protection of the Halifax Common; clearly, compromises behind closed doors aren’t working.

Update: On Feb 11 HRM Council “compromised” with the Province by agreeing that the parkade and steam plant may be built on a western portion of Summer Street. This will impact only item #2 in the petition. FHC is continuing to collect signatures to increase public – pressure as the Halifax Common is still not protected!
