Not sure I follow

The pathway is on private property and HRM Development Engineering staff negotiated to keep the pathway open during construction.

I don’t have an exact timeline but I was told very soon.

Part 3 info update on old St Pat’s high site

Part 2 info update on old St. Pat’s high site

I’ve been getting some questions from residents about walking around the development at the old St. Pat’s high site. Here’s a little info update on sidewalks, pathway, and marked crosswalk.

Night Owl 5km. First of many running and cycling events this year.

The now-annual Christmas pyjama photo. Merry Christmas to all!!

The holidays are a time to celebrate, reflect, & plan.

I'm glad parts of 2025 are over. 2026 has some concerns but there’s a lot to look forward to.

I hope you get to spend time with family & friends, and you find time to pause, reflect, & enjoy the season.

I hope 2026 is fantastic for you!

New sidewalk open and looking good next to the new Shannex building at Quinpool & Robie.

Hiking the Alexander Murray trail in King’s Point, NL, for a little Thanksgiving weekend family outing

Forced break from work in the home office

Evening walk in Point Pleasant Park with Michelle

Getting ready for today’s Council meeting!

After a hike and swim, how about a little afternoon relaxation?!

It was a real pleasure to join #kidicalmasshfx for a fantastic bike ride through Halifax’s West End today. So many happy kids experiencing the joy and freedom that comes with pedalling your two wheels. #BikeHfx

Paris Pike Lane noting “pedestrian priority“ at the point on the sidewalk where the bike lane and sidewalk overlap.

Here’s the “elephant in the room” with the outstanding (and FAST) growth in urban biking here in Paris — the tension between 2 NATURAL ALLIES, people on bikes and people walking, needs work, lest it become a political wedge issue. City Hall reminds everyone that pedestrians have priority EVERYWHERE.
