As we at @DowntownHalifax continue to engage with all levels of government, we recently met with the Liberal caucus to talk about the State of the Downtown and our #Vision2030!
My thanks to all the MLAs that came down!

Fantastic night for @ArthritisSoc’s Celebrity Roast 30th Anniversary! Oscar's powerful story about his journey with arthritis & the invaluable support from Camp Joint Together was so inspiring. Shout out to the committee for their hard work in making this such a memorable event.

We did a thing.
With federal money from Reaching Home, we purchased another condo unit. Within weeks it will be rented to a family who’s been homeless for a long time. Affordable rent, geared to income. Support as needed. Ending someone’s homelessness.
It’s a good thing.

Due to legislative restrictions in the @hfxgov Charter, they cannot provide property tax relief for our businesses that suffered major losses in the wildfire.
See my letter to the @TimHoustonNS to step in with a program similar to what we initiated while in government.
