The Coast’s live-gramming of Halifax Regional Council continues with a presentation from Wanda Thomas Bernard and more.
The best way to learn about what happened at council this week is to head over to The Coast’s Instagram and watch the 07/07 Council highlight on our profile. That way you can interact with the story as it’s told: swiping up on articles and giving feedback in real-time.
But if you’re here, you’re here. Enjoy.
