CBRM Municipal Charter Amendments

3/14/2018

 
Picture
Dear Members, 

The Nova Scotia members of the Atlantic Chamber of Commerce have expressed their objection to the piecemeal and negative approach proposed by the provincial government in granting economic development powers to a single municipal entity.
 
The attached letter sent the Premier and Minister of Municipal Affairs outlines the chambers’ concerns that such an approach will instigate a situation where municipalities across the province vie for competitive advantage by according targeted tax breaks and short-term business subsidies.
 
Our members reject this uncoordinated approach to reforming municipal governance and submit that a province-wide modernization of the act will provide a more effective and positive solution to sustaining municipalities.

Sexual Harassment in the Work Place - Education Campaign
On International Women’s Day, March 8, the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission will launch the Safe Spaces educational campaign that will provide NS businesses with new resources including a template for organizations to develop a sexual harassment policy.
 
In support of the Human Rights Commissions effort to curb instances of sexual harassment and educate employers and workers regarding their rights and responsibilities, we urge business owners to review the attached material and contact the Commission directly for more information at www.safespacesns.ca.
