If you’ve taken a summertime walk along the Halifax waterfront in recent years, you’ve likely had to navigate through crowds of people to get to your destination.![]()
![]()
With tourist season fast approaching, the harbour will soon be filled with cruise ships, and the tourism boom will mean crowded walkways and packed patios.![]()
![]()
Nova Scotia Public Works Minister Kim Masland told reporters Thursday that she was approached by Build Nova Scotia, which wanted to do a review of the waterfront.![]()
![]()
Masland noted that between cruise ships and the city’s rising population, the waterfront gets quite crowded in the summer. And with new ferries being added to the Halifax Transit fleet in the coming years, the current ferry terminal may be unable to handle increased traffic.![]()
![]()
“With the ferry building that we have there now … with the wharf infrastructure that we have there now, it’s not going to be sufficient to have those ferries come in,” she said.![]()
![]()
This could mean creating a new waterfront ferry terminal, as the current one, “where it is now, is not going to work.”

A big list. I encourage folks to look around their communities to see how many independently owned spots you can buy food from - if you have the resources to do so! ![]()

Don’t be a buy-local jerk snob also, 22% of Nova Scotians live in food insecurity. Be chill and if you have money, use it. ![]()
