The Halifax Green Network Plan (HGNP) should be used to guide the region’s growth, but full implementation of the plan requires resources and enforceable rules to protect important greenspace and wildlife corridors. [...] Will you support the full implementation of the HGNP to protect the Green Network? Explain why or why not (optional). [...] HRM staff need to work together to manage open spaces, land for parks and corridors, whether is the planning and development department, parks and rec, or transportation to name a few. [...] Will you commit to ensuring Halifax Transit attracts and retains enough staff to implement the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) network and ferry routes in the Rapid Transit Strategy? Explain why or why not (optional). [...] Are you committed to ensuring the continued implementation and full funding of the JustFOOD Action Plan as the municipality’s first comprehensive, long-range food strategy, which will increase collaboration across levels of government and among community partners, strengthening our collective capacity to build a just, healthy, and sustainable food system.
