HRM Election -CANDIDATE SURVEY
The survey below represents the responses from the candidates in the Halifax Regional Municipal election, held October 17, 2020. Each candidate received a survey from Friends of BMBCL asking them for their position on the future of the Blue Mountain - Birch Cove Lakes Regional Wilderness Park. With a council in place that firmly supports the planning and formation of this park, we expect to see continuous progress with the creation of a world-class, legacy destination that encompasses all that this wilderness experience can provide.
