This 1963 map of the Halifax Common from the Nova Scotia Archive shows the trees along Robie & Bell Road. Take a close look. Why have we already lost so many street trees in the last 60 years? We accept expanding our public hospital on this site but we can raise the expectation for better design and the best possible standard to protect trees and public open space. Please sign the petition to ask our Premier and Mayor to raise the bar and lower the chain saws. We cannot afford the health & climate cost of cutting 37 historic trees.
