Where did I not fund transit? You want to show me where I voted against it

Bike lanes should be paid for by the folks who use them albeit very few. All of our resources between the 3 levels of government should be focused on greatly improving our Transit system here in HRM. I’m hoping for a dedicated Transit lane across the Mag Hill so more folks can get out of their cars

I am a strong advocate for expanding and connecting A/T trails within my district, separating pedestrians and vehicles.

It was great to be on Councillors on the Hot Seat to start the week with Jean St-Amand, Councillor, HRM District 16 hosted by former Councillor Lisa Blackburn. Lisa brings a valuable perspective to the airwaves drawing on her past experiences being a Councillor. Thx for having us City News Halifax

Last night I had the pleasure of attending the Sackville Rivers Association annual dinner and auction with some colleagues, representing 3 levels of government.The SRA are stewards of our beloved rivers who do amazing work with limited resources. Not all heroes wear capes, some wear rubber boots.

More disinformation. Is that what I believe? Where did you hear that? Have you been following my platform and seeing what I am trying to achieve in Lower Sackville- Beaver Bank with regard to Active Transportation?

Billy Gillis Halifax Regional Municipality @billygillishrm.bsky.social · 18/10/2025

Really? Patting myself on the back. Trying to have a little fun with residents. Beaver Bank was misspelled, not the graffiti.Hundreds wanted it changed for years and have tried.Not one complaint has been received from the community regarding this intersection or its perceived dangers like you claim.

And Beaver Bank spelled correctly, long standing issue lol

Hey Rasta, I’m with you there and I think this hike is outrageous. Halifax Water are their own Utility with their own CEO, that operates independently from HRM. The rates are set by the NS Regulatory Board. Mayor Fillmore has written a letter to the board asking for gradual increase over 5 years.

Today myself and the remaining volunteers of the William Henry Little Park Society have begun a restoration of this little nature park on Old Sackville Road in Lower Sackville. I’ve traded in the suit for a power saw as we work away in the coming weeks to reclaim our space in nature.

Agreed, I’m a big fan of connecting all of our multi use pathways here in Sackville for cycling, which includes connecting the Sackville Greenway along Glendale to the Bedford Greenway. It’s the safest, most cost efficient way to move safely within our community
