Canadian Capital Cities May 30-31, 2018 Annual Conference WELCOME TO HALIFAX! Capital City Leadership: Climate and Social PROGRAMME Inclusion WELCOME! PJILA’SI! BIENVENUE! On behalf of the Halifax Regional Municipality, Mayor Mike Savage and my colleagues on Regional Council, it is my distinct pleasure to welcome you to Halifax. We are pleased you have chosen Halifax for your AGM as we are proud to share our paradise with you: once you visit here, you won’t want to leave! Halifax has a fascinating history, part of which you will learn during your tours of Pier 21 and Africville Museum, and is a progressive city - our award winning architectural gems and projects such as Bishop’s Landing, Central Library and the Argyle and Grafton Shared Streetscape project are just a few examples of the ingenuity that abounds throughout our region. The natural beauty of the surrounding ocean, fresh- water lakes, parks, gardens, trails, offer a variety of activities from mountain biking to sailing or a leisurely stroll. Over the last two years population in the 19 – 29-year-old age group has increased, thanks in part to our numerous post-secondary educational and research institutions. The percentage of international students rose from 16% in 2012-2013 to 21% in 2016-2017. We boast a thriving economy including the: Port of Halifax, Halifax Stanfield International Airport, Irving Shipbuilding Inc., Canadian Navy’s Maritime Forces Atlantic, not to mention Burnside Industrial Park, Bayers Lake, and Dartmouth Crossing commercial centers - attracting many businesses such as the recently opened IKEA store in Dartmouth Crossing. Dining and entertainment options are as varied as our population base and include a litany of ethnic options from Lebanese, Korean, Greek, Italian and much more. Our local entertainment is a rich diversity from the Kitchen Ceilidh to Blues, Jazz and everything in between. Delegates, enjoy your stay, and come back soon!

In a sense, one might think of HRM as a growing "family" looking at options for its future "home". And when looking for a new home, it is important to know that the one you're looking at, or thinking of building, is affordable. HRM's Cost of Servicing study allows us to better understand the cost implications of different patterns of growth. This booklet will show the findings of the Cost of Servicing study applied to sample settlement patterns that are typical to HRM. Although, not all of the factors influencing costs, such as the effects of specific locations, have been included, trends are emerg- ing that should support discussions of the relative, incremental costs of the different styles of "rooms" (neigh- bourhoods) that make up HRM's "home".

  • WIHW Halifax, CANADA Report

    WIHW Halifax, CANADA Report

    Halifax, CANADA Report - 2017 2017 was the fourth year for Halifax to celebrate World Interfaith Harmony Week (WIHW). This year something tragic happened that made an impact on the whole country. Visits to Sacred Spaces are at the heart of our program, and on January 29th, the very same day that our Sacred Spaces began; six people were murdered in a Canadian sacred space. It happened in Quebec, a different Canadian province; however, it struck at the heart of all Canadian people. Our hearts grieved for those who died and for the loved ones who lost a father, husband, teacher, or friend. Our hearts grieved for Muslim sisters and brothers who were afraid in their schools, homes, streets, and sacred spaces. And together with our mayor we [Photo: Jane Woodford, MetroNews Halifax] rallied. With immediate response, thousands of Haligonians filled the Grand Parade reaching out to offer care and support. World Interfaith Harmony Week helped to strengthen us all. As one participant in our Program commented, “I was surprised how hopeful I felt by the end of the week. It felt like an extremely timely antidote to the fear and hopelessness engendered by the attack of the mosque in Quebec.” (Sarah Michleh, Jewish, Interfaith Engagement participant, environmentalist) In 2017 our experience of WIHW expanded and deepened in so many ways. New collaborations, especially with the Local Immigration Partnership, and Mount Saint Vincent University’s International Education Centre, along with the participation of three new faith communities, led to increased creativity, participation, and a stronger program. We see growth in our endeavours reflected in the strong local response to world events, in increased participation in the Interfaith Engagement Certificate Program, in the numbers who attended events, and in the eagerness of people to become ambassadors for the Week, including Halifax Regional Police.

Experienced international traveller Bill Duncan pointed out that the boarding passes on all our boarding cards had “Hospitality” writ large along the top, so a band of gullible curlers followed him to the Maple Leaf lounge to take advantage of Air Canada’s renowned pre-departure hospitality service. Robin Copland was shoved to the front to explain just how important this party was, only to be gently informed that “Hospitality” was Air-Canada-speak for “back of the bus”! Collapse of case and a shame-faced backtrack through security ensued.
