Halifax council has passed HRM By Design, with minor amendments. Councillor Jennifer Watts was the only "no" vote.

Also, councillors were just handed a five-page report from the Halifax Water Commission. The gist of it is this: The WC knows why the Halifax sewer plant failed, and will brief the council at a June 30 secret meeting. The public will not be told what happened.
