Market farming

Posted by Tim Bousquet on Thu, Jan 24, 2008 at 1:04 PM

You can help the Halifax Farmers' Market see its new harbourfront market become reality. You know the plan: windmills, green roof, killer views, etc. It all depends on cash, of course, and so the accounting alchemists have used their financing magic to meld provincial commitments to ACOA to HRM to CEDIFs to blah, blah, blah, whatever. Short version: if you've got at least a thousand bucks, you can buy into the plan with your retirement funds and get all sorts of tax breaks. But even with just $50, you can invest in a good cause. One and all should go to one of next week's three info meetings at the Brewery Market (see HalifaxFarmersMarket.com for details) to get a professional translation of "blah, blah, blah."

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.

All I have to say, with an investment, I'd like to be known, like something like the bricks at Victoria Park around Burn's statue. That I would definitely like.
