Halifax

Release of the First Ever Alternative Municipal Budget for the HRM

Press Conference and launch of the Alternative Municipal Budget for the HRM

10:00am
Tuesday August 28 2012

 The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives-Nova Scotia will release a new report on Tuesday, August 28, A Sustainable Vision for our Community: Alternative Municipal Budget for the Halifax Regional Municipality.  

A collaborative effort involving 20 plus individuals drawn from academia, the non-profit sector and labour organizations, the Alternative Municipal Budget is being released now well in advance of the normal budget cycle in the hopes that it will spark serious policy discussions leading up to the  election campaign. It offers our Regional Council fuel for a real conversation about the services we need, and what we can afford; it offers alternative ways to pay for the services we want for ourselves and our community.

Brief presentations of the report’s key recommendations will be made. Copies of the report will be available at the press conference, following which the report will be available for free download atwww.policyalternatives.ca.
