🏛 EXCLUSIVE: CITY HALL DATA — Only on The Desk

Your City Hall was quieter than a Sunday mornin' this week

SHARE

Your City Hall's been mighty quiet, my son.

Some good morning, buddy — this is Halifax, and we have stories.

Well now, it's been a real 'watch and wait' kinda week down at City Hall, eh? Like waitin' for a fog bank to lift over the harbour, you just know there's somethin' there, but you can't quite see it yet. We've been keepin' our eyes peeled for any big news comin' out of council, but it's been quieter than a church mouse on a Sunday mornin'.

Here's the lowdown on the quiet:

* Not a lot of new data came our way.

* Council meetings are always on our radar, but no big fireworks this week.

* We're still watchin' for what's brewin' in the background, like a good pot of chowder.

Sometimes, my son, the news is that there ain't much news. But don't you worry, the wheels are always turnin' in this city, even if they're turnin' a little slower than usual. We'll keep our ears to the ground for ya.

Some good morning, buddy — this is Halifax, and we have stories.
