What’s wrong: Late night construction

Who’s responsible? Earl McMullin, Manager of Special Projects, Halifax Regional School Board.

Remarks: Construction at Dartmouth High School is woefully behind schedule, so behind that construction crews have been working well past midnight, using heavy and loud drilling machinery in a residential neighbourhood. It turns out the contractor, Bird Construction, had no approval to work so late, and after neighbours complained, McMullin ordered an end to the late night work. The project, however, remains well behind schedule.

Survey Asks

Do you agree with Halifax's school board cutting 152 teachers?

  • Yes, the board needs to meet its shrinking budget.
  • Only if managers and bureaucracy get a similar cut.
  • I don't care, I support the private education system.
  • No, giving young citizens the best education is too important to cut.
