@MayorOliviaChow Love this.

A parent sent us a photo of their child's incredible Halloween costume earlier in the week. So it was an honour to host them today at the mayor's office! Love the look.

@deAdder Damn it, I'm sorry.

I just got let go from the Halifax Chronicle Herald after almost 30 years.

Boil Water Advisory in Effect for Beaver Bank, Middle and Lower Sackville, Hammonds Plains, Bedford, Halifax, Timberlea, Spryfield and Herring Cove Halifax Water is advising that there is a possibility of unsafe drinking water for customers in the area(s) described in this notice. halifaxwater.ca/notice/boil-wa…

@KateUdle Thinking perhaps getting the word out using the existing map was the most expedient under the circumstances?

@ShauneMacK Fair, but in my opinion you shouldn’t have to search your address. If you click on the map it should clearly indicate the affected area(s).

THIS is the map to determine whether you’re in the boil water advisory area? I’m not sure I’ve ever seen something so useless.

Today marks @MikeSavageHFX's last Big City Mayors’ Caucus meeting as chair! Thank you, Mayor Savage, for your steadfast advocacy for Canada’s largest cities over the last 3 years. And a special thank you to @charlieclarkyxe for his hard work as Vice-Chair 🙏

Wow, this feels really special 🇨🇦📍🙌 #CanadaSGP #Halifax #SailGP

@Witherscbc Very happy for you! What a long and distinguished career.

Some news of my own. After 37 years I will be leaving the CBC at the end of the month. A few more weeks of reporting and a summer spent oil painting in St Margarets Bay awaits!

@carolesaab @MikeSavageHFX @FCM_online Thank you Carole, very kind of you. So great you could join us today.

And I need to acknowledge the dedication and leadership of @MikeSavageHFX’s remarkable Chief of Staff, @ShauneMacK both in Halifax & with our team at FCM. You can tell a lot about people by who they surround themselves with, and this brilliant duo is testament. Thank you, Shaune.

Mayor @MikeSavageHFX has been an amazing leader for Halifax & cities across 🇨🇦 as Chair of FCM’s Big Cities Caucus. It’s an honour to work with him- I couldn’t miss being here in support at his last State of the City as Mayor, true to form a masterclass in service & authenticity.

I’m happy to report that @hfxgov will join the @BloombergDotOrg new Youth Climate Action Fund alongside mayors and cities from 38 countries. Together, we will work with young people to drive climate progress at the local level.

Watch for newly-installed music-themed bike racks at arts venues across the municipality! The bike racks were design by David Byrne of the legendary rock band Talking Heads, and are a part of the municipality’s efforts to be a greener JUNOS host city. halifax.ca/junos

@TheAtlantic @davidfrum Profoundly beautiful, and sad…sorry for your loss

When our daughter died suddenly, @davidfrum writes, she left us with grief, memories—and Ringo. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

Being a greener JUNOS host city is about showing we care about climate action. As the host city, we're going all out to show the rest of Canada how committed we are to acting on climate together. For more info on HalifACT at The JUNOS, visit halifax.ca/junos.
