The Halifax Regional Municipality has released the 2022/23 Strategic Performance Report – the second annual report providing updates of the Strategic Priorities Plan 2021-25. The Strategic Performance Snapshot, the municipality’s public-facing dashboard with key performance indicators aligned to the Strategic Priorities Plan, has been updated with data for 2022/23.

The annual Strategic Performance Report highlights the municipality’s progress on delivering Regional Council’s priorities and the priorities of the administration in the governance and management of municipal services, staff and finances. 

The following are some key highlights from the 2022/23 Strategic Performance Report:

• The creation of the Community Safety business unit, allowing the consolidation of programs and activities in the areas of social policy, housing and homelessness, public safety and emergency management.
• The implementation of the Framework for Addressing Homelessness, which builds on continued work with the Province of Nova Scotia and service providers to better coordinate resources and assistance to persons experiencing homelessness – including the creating of designated outdoor sheltering locations.
• The continued commitment to key climate action deliverables, including transitioning municipal vehicles to electric, retrofitting municipal buildings to align with HalifACT guidelines and progressing towards decarbonizing the public transit fleet, with electric buses scheduled to be in service in Fall 2024.
• The Cogswell District Project has entered its second phase of construction and will be complete by the end of 2025.
• The development of the Draft Regional Plan – the municipality’s long-range region-wide plan for growth and development, which was presented for Regional Council review and public feedback.
