2024 Municipal Election Toolkit

Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM), along with all Nova Scotia municipalities, is holding a municipal election on Oct. 19, 2024. The results of this 2024 election will set the tone of HRM’s locally based environmental action for the next four years. HRM is growing faster than ever, resulting in more pressure on our housing, services and the environment. In recent years we have also been affected by flooding, forest fires and hurricanes – all connected to our changing climate. The municipality has adopted many great plans, including the Halifax Green Network Plan, Mobility Plan, HalifACT climate action plan, Integrated Sharing Our Stories culture and heritage plan and JustFOOD Action Plan Part A and Part B – but all these plans need dedicated resources and staff, and measurable and timebound goals, to be implemented fully. Now is the time to be ambitious and committed in building our community around sustainability. This election season, you can help make climate and environmental justice top election issues.
