Deputy mayor, advocate say increased watercourse buffers are important
The province has rejected Halifax's new plan guiding growth in the region, saying certain environmental rules will stall development. But advocates and the city's deputy mayor say those rules are important to maintain a healthy municipality. On Friday, Municipal Affairs Minister John Lohr said in a letter to Halifax Mayor Andy Fillmore that he could not approve the new regional plan that council passed in June.
