Added a way to see the latest service update when in Pending. And there’s a β€œcenter to my location” map control now too. Thanks for the feedback!
Also thinking about β€œlikely conditions” based on temp trend / precip / snow on ground / etc, stay tuned.

Email all Halifax Councillors

You can also use this to send an email to council.

Virtual Public Participation A Public Participation section is included in regular meetings of Community Councils, Standing Committees, and Budget Committee.

Most councillors are fighting the good fight but they could always use more help.

There's one more public participation during the day Tue Mar 3, which you can do in person or via Zoom. Email clerks@halifax.ca to register (deadline for via Zoom is Mar 2).

The awful NS provincial government is trying to gut arts/etc funding and our awful mayor is trying to do the same for HRM. This and more are still up for debate at the city level.

Thanks, glad you like it! Please let me know if you have any feedback.

I actually have no idea! Don’t think this level of detail is considered in any city info about clearing.

Thank you! I can see about a β€œcenter where I am based on location” dealy if that would help. And I did struggle with the shading. Will keep thinking.
