Halifax gets first look at 'long overdue' Sackville floodplain changes
Halifax council has got its first look at new rules proposed for the Sackville rivers floodplain that would control development along the waterways — in some areas for the first time.

FOUND SAFE!

Just came in, minutes ago, the two boys were found safe.
But, this is 12 hours later, WTF on the Alerts?
EDITED 9am

WHY IS THERE NO EMERGENCY ALERT? I got one for a gas leak in Dartmouth, nowhere near me, but I can walk to this location? #NovaScotia #EmergencyAlert #Halifax

The RCMP is asking for the public’s help to find two young brothers #missing from Lower #Sackville, N.S.

Atlantic · N.S. RCMP searching for two young brothers missing from Lower SackvilleThe RCMP is asking for the public’s help to find two young brothers missing from Lower Sackville, N.S.

On 1 kilometer of the main road, 2 people turned left suddenly, across 3 lanes, right in front of me.

3 of 5 grey cars had no lights on. It's been mandatory in Canada since 2015
*Always running lights*

Vehicles that blend best, in dense fog & rain, should require background checks of potential to buyers.

#Sackville Imagine if I had to go to #Halifax ? The numbers increase exponentially with density..

"UKenSafeGaz" said the driver of the F150

Everywhere is a sheet of ice!

Nearly broke my neck getting to a sidewalk, they were salted in #Sackville, but places people parked into the sidewalk were ice too, the Saltmobile had to drive around bumpers. #HFXTraffic
I *skated* across intersections to get to the next sidewalk. #BeCareful it *says* 4°C, but the ground and pavement is well below freezing. Little speed bumps of rain runoffs in random locations.

Extremely icey walk. Had to change routes, because only the sidewalks have salt #Sackville

Everything at the freezing mark, and the sunrise chilling it even more. At risk of being run over, I walk the shoulder of the side streets (normally) but there's no salt on secondary roads.

The #NovaScotia government, #Halifax ( #HRM ), and two private developers will build a rent-geared-to-income tiny home community in Lower #Sackville, with residents moving in the autumn of 2024.

The project will be the first community of its kind in #NS, but will also displace people who are now living in tents on the land on which the #TinyHomes will be built.

#Canada has a patchwork of flood mapping where it has any at all. Some are even kept hidden from the public.

▶️ meteorologist Jim Abraham was asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement before viewing a floodmap. ‼️🙀 ◀️ #sackville

(Note: the insurance industry has up to date floodmaps)
