Last week, the city of Halifax urged us to not swim in the harbour, now they want to build a splash pad and beach!
The plan was created after consulting with the public about what people wanted to see in the space. Some of the most-requested features were a splashpad, a floating dock or walkway and a beach experience with “an opportunity to interact with the harbour.”
Let us remember the steps and how they encouraged us not to go in

Then Halifax Water told us not to go in cause of waste water
So this seems like a great idea!
According to the list of “must-haves” in the public engagement report, any beach area would require regular water quality testing, a signal indicating water quality such as a light or a flag, and publicly available water quality data online.
The space is located between Bishop’s Landing and the Nova Scotia Power building near Lower Water Street and Morris Street. It will be situated next to the Cunard Building, a development by Southwest Properties that will see 235 rental units as well as commercial units built next to the Nova Scotia Power building.
