Middle-Upper Sackville & Lucasville Community Visioning Public Forums

(February 17, 2009) - The Middle-Upper Sackville & Lucasville Community Liaison Group, a working group of local residents, will host two Public Forums, February 23 and 28, in order to get residents' input into the creation of a Community Vision and Action Plan.

The forums are the first of several planned opportunities for residents to participate in the community visioning process. VisionHRM is a community-led initiative supported by the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) which allows residents to think creatively about what is possible for the community as a whole 10 to 20 years into the future. It is also an opportunity to implement the HRM Regional Plan at the local level.

Residents are invited to attend one of the following events:

Monday, February 23
6 p.m. - 9 p.m.
Sackville Heights Community Centre,
45 Connolly Rd, Sackville
Reception and Open House at 6 p.m.

1 p.m. - 4 p.m.
