HRM's Firefighter Recruitment Process - Update

(Friday, November 14/08) - Senior staff met today with Mayor Kelly to discuss the firefighter recruitment process review to ensure it is progressing as it should.

"We understand that our community wants answers on this matter," said Dan English, CAO of the Halifax Regional Municipality. "However, reviews of this nature take time and once we have compiled all of the information, we will report back to Council, our citizens and the media."

Full details from the review are expected in the next couple of weeks. A further status update will be provided on Tuesday, November 18.
