The future of Sandy Lake-Sackville River is in our hands
The Future of Sandy Lake: Save or Pave?
​The Sandy Lake - Sackville River Regional Park area has been proposed for protection for over 50 years, but now we risk losing a major part of it, forever. The Province wants to allow use of a large part of the wildlands for a sprawling housing development. Such a development would irreparably damage one of the last large greenspaces in urban Halifax.
With nature rapidly disappearing, floods becoming more frequent and severe, ​and local traffic already at its limits, it has become increasingly clear that this is an unsuitable place for development at all — let alone the 6,000+ new housing units that are proposed along the Hammonds Plains Road.

Time is running out—will you speak up for Sandy Lake?
