After two days of closed door meetings, Halifax city council has decided to make no change in the policing arrangements for HRM, mayor Peter Kelly has announced.

The Halifax Police Department will continue to police in the urban areas, while the city will continue to contract with the RCMP for policing services in rural and suburban areas.

Kelly would not disclose the vote on the issue, but did promise to release various documents related to the discussion. Those should arrive momentarily, and I'll post them here as soon as I get them.

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.
