The controversy over the St. Pat’s-Alexandra sale rocked the north end in January, and the area’s councillor, Dawn Sloane, responded reasonably well: She was the prime voice on council for the community and worked hard on their behalf. But Sloane can be faulted for not seeing the crisis coming. The defunct school was given to the city in September, and had Sloane been more in front of it, she may have succeeded in blocking the sale in the first place.
Sloane was a staunch defender of HRM By Design, and objected strongly when a council majority voted to allow the Skye development proposal to go to a public hearing. But she was also an enthusiastic supporter of the stadium dream, even when it became obvious that the effort would fail.
Crucially, she voted against censuring Kelly. After the St. Pat’s-Alexandra issue arose, she seems to have parted ways with the mayor, but it’s too little, too late.

She gets a C+F? I knew I shouldn’t have slept through all those algebra classes.
Worst of the entire bunch. C+ must be a typo. She should get less than an F.
I thought C+ was a computer program.
When I hear this councillor chirping in the media, I’m a little bit embarrassed to be a Haligonian.
Don’t put your dukes up to me or I will hit you so hard that you will starve to death bouncing.
I QUITE AGREE WITH CHBR. Some of Our Councillors are an embarrassment and it,s no wonder Our financial situation is attrotious.Good riddance
