These areas are NOT Halifax, Nova Scotia. —Sick of HRM
This article appears in Jun 25 – Jul 1, 2015.
Dear, it’s no longer HRM; it’s Halifax. Enjoy the change!
Hammonds Plains? Thank God it’s not Halifax.
Jeez OP who are you? Woody Guthrie?
Try to imagine how little I care.
All of those places are now neighbourhoods (or suburban/exurban communities) within–you guessed it–Halifax.
Just like Etobicoke and Scarborough are no longer separate cities, but part of Toronto. Just like Brooklyn and Queens became boroughs of New York in 1904, rather than being separate cities. Just like Whitechapel and Islington and a zillion other boroughs were amalgamated into greater London in the 19th century.
They all retain much of their own identities. But they’re no longer autonomous, self-governing communities. Deal with it.
Strange, when Halifax tried to close the fire stations in Dartmouth, Black Point, Hammonds Plains and other areas… I didn’t hear anyone complain about being labeled under Halifax Regional Fire? Perhaps Dartmouth and Black Point can fund their own stations, municipal services and other amenities provided by the good ol’ HRM
Reminds me of an old song I used to pluck on the “geetar” late at night around the campfire when I was herding cattle in Lower Sackville.
Here’s Johnny Cash doing “I’ve Been Everywhere”.

Over half of those places listed are equivalent to butt-fuck nowhere anyways.
You almost had the alphabetical thing going but then….. couldn’t stick the landing?
Now list every type of plant….. Lists!
Its a big world out there! Try to worry about important things…being petty about the sign on the road is just crazy.
READ THE CHARTER http://nslegislature.ca/legc/bills/60th_2nd/1st_read/b179.htm
There is no City of Halifax; hasn’t been in well nigh 20 years. Halifax is one of the communities, along with the others listed, which the HRM is mandated to protect and preserve.
Regional Council declares that the community names will not change; I suppose they will simply blame Staff for the “misunderstanding” and never get around to setting it right.
Staff has no authority over the community names. Regional Council has no authority over the community names. The community names can be changed only the “Governor in Council”, i.e., the Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia.
Face the facts, all you ego-tripping Haligonians – we are, and will remain, a Region of equals.
HRM is a failure and the people who should be piised off are the people of the former city of Halifax just look of the mess wikipedia made of Halifax Nova Scotia aid by one their councillors
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halifax,_Nov…
I’m not sure what this article was supposed to mean? Halifax isn’t the legal name of anyone’s city or neighborhood, including peninsular Halifax. Is that an agreeable fact?
These signs will fade along with the memories of those who fought for them. Third make over in my lifetime alone.
Amalgamation doesn’t work..
I lived through it before moving to Dartmouth, Hamilton Ontario, is a good example of vastly different people/economic health, be forced into a small room and fighting it out, they still are today, same with Toronto, I miss Dartmouth horribly, I lived there for 18 months, but due to inaccessibility & lack of medical specialist for my medical needs, I was forced back to ontario, I’m in Scarborough, we are hated by the rest of Toronto, just as Dartmouth is by snotty Halifax people.
Scarborough has few services, is the poorest part of Toronto, but has an amazing community spirit, but vastly different from Dartmouth, if ONLY the city councillors for Dartmouth could fight for better accessibility, I’d be back ‘home’ in a heartbeat, my hear & soul never left Dartmouth, its so special to me.
Okay, OB. I love Dartmouth as much as the next person who was born and raised in Dartmouth, but if you really want this to change, what can we do about it? Seriously? Let’s DO something about it then. Because posting bitches on The Coast and passive-aggressively ranting on the “born and raised in Dartmouth..” Facebook page isn’t doing much of anything. Let me know when you have an actual plan and I will gladly support it in any way that I can.
I agree we really need a plan. I am hoping that by showing up tonight it will be a start. That someone will know what to do.I love Halifax it’s a great city. However I really love Dartmouth it is also a great city. Being a part of the HRM to save money I have no problem with that. I will never agree with what they are trying to do.Dartmouth needs to stay Dartmouth and the first person who runs for office that will reverse this mistake will have my vote .
We do need a plan.
Posting on Facebook and commenting here will get the word out to more people, but we have to be writing to Elections Canada, the NS Dept of Municipal Affairs and the Lieutenant Governor’s office.
This kind of empire-building will never be controlled from the bottom up; we need to enlist those with power over the Mayor.
you forgot rockingham 😉
