History in the making. 🇨🇦✨ ​I had the immense honor of attending the Canadian Congress of Black Politicians AGM and conference. Together, we officially voted on our bylaws and incorporated the organization—marking a monumental milestone for Black political representation in Canada. ​There is nothing quite like being in a room filled with politicians of African descent from across the country, spanning every level of government and all political stripes. Connecting, learning, and building alongside leaders who share a vision for transformative representation was inspiring beyond words. ​Grateful for the journey so far, and even more excited for what’s ahead as we build this legacy together. 🖤✊🏾

Attention Fairview Clayton Park! Tomorrow is the deadline to have your say on proposed design changes to the Seton Ridge Development (former Motherhouse Lands, Bedford Highway, Halifax) The developer has proposed adding 1,000 additional units to the high-density, mixed-use neighbourhood, which would bring the total to 3,500 units (approximately 7,875 people) An open house took place on July 23, and attendees raised questions on local school capacity and traffic impacts along with infrastructure, transit and active transportation needs. I encourage all community members to review the details and share your thoughts on these amendments.

Happy 5th Birthday, @easystreetdinerns !

Celebrating community, culture, and connection at the opening ceremony of the Halifax Cedar Festival right in Fairview-Clayton Park! My family had the absolute best time taking in the incredible energy, vibrant performances, and (of course) the amazing food. It’s always a true highlight of the season! ​It was a distinct honor to meet with the Lebanese Consul for the Maritimes, Mr. Fares and the newly appointed Lebanese Ambassador, Mr. Tawk, during the festivities. ​A massive thank you to the organizers, volunteers, and everyone behind the scenes who put their heart into making this festival such a wonderful, welcoming success for our community every year! ​📍 @cedarfest

Students of HRM! Education Minister Brendan Maguire is trying to justify cutting the free student bus pass program by downplaying how many people use it. Do you use your bus pass at least once a week? Do you think the Minister of Education needs to hear from the people who use it? Let him know! Send an email to your MLA and to educmin@novascotia.ca.

Today is the 108th anniversary of the Halifax Explosion. This remains a dark day in our city’s history, marking a catastrophic loss of life and unimaginable destruction. In the face of this tragedy, Haligonians showed incredible resilience, unity and bravery jumping in to action to offer aid, shelter, and support to their neighbours in need. This spirit of mutual support still defines us to this day.
