Great to be back in CBRM to brief some councillors about NSFM activities and advo act, and to talk about how we can support action on the CBRM viability study.

This is going to be a very transparent and heart-felt post. You may or may not know, that there are three businesses who have allowed to open their doors during the crane accident and South Park st closure. That would be us, @twiggzhalifax, and Fawcett’s Jewellers. While we’ve been open, Humani-T has only been able to do a quarter of its regular daily sales, and that’s because people can only access us through Brenton St. This means a lot of things: staff are not getting hours, and it’s going to be very hard for us to survive this ‘storm’ if it continues. We are being kept in the dark about when anything is going to get fixed, and are very thankful to @wayemason, who has taken it upon himself as an individual initiative to find out what’s going on and emailing all the businesses to keep us in the loop.

What can you do to help? Well, sharing this post would surely help. But also, please stop in! We’re still open. We’re still serving delicious pumpkin treats and delicious coffee / gelato! You just have to access us through the Brenton side of things.

Also, if you can’t physically pop in, please call us and pre-order your vegan pumpkin pies for your next dinner. Plan ahead for Thanksgiving or Christmas if you like! The pies are $9.95, and are 9 inches.

We love you all! And look forward to getting through this and organizing our next ‘Free Gelato Day’! Love,
-Humani-Team.

I know that it has been hugely stressful and frustrating for residents and businesses impacted by the crane. While businesses were being updated by the landlords and the business association, since we are all getting bits and pieces at different times so I put it all together in one place.

Department of Labour and Advanced Education (LAE) is responsible for Occupational Health and Safety on the worksite/inside the fence and Halifax Regional Fire and Emergency (HRFE) are responsible for evacuation orders for occupants that may be impacted by the crane.

The crane on South Park side is laying across the top of the Olympus building and there is a real danger the crane could collapse further. This is a real risk that needs to be considered and steps to protect the public taken.

This is why LAE do not want to let anyone into the area, because bad things could still happen, and I am told for this reason there can be no moving of the fence and safety area until the crane is secured.

I do not know why and under what conditions any business has been given access, that rests with the LAE inspectors and they do not report to HRM.

To be clear – The work site where the construction crane collapsed is under the authority of the provincial LAE, not HRM or Halifax Regional Fire & Emergency. LAE has issued a stop work order to the developer and it is my understanding that certain directions such as to develop a safe plan to remove the damaged crane and remediate the site. LAE’s Minister is Labi Kousoulis, who is also MLA for the area.

The actions taken by the municipality are focused around safety, including issuing an evacuation order Monday, issuing notifications regarding restricted access, and traffic and parking restrictions.

I am hopeful that things will start moving soon, and that LAE and the crane company will get this work done quickly.

Although Hurricane Dorian was devastating to our community and dealing with crane collapse is extremely complicated, communication is not, it is free, and I look forward to more updates from the leaders who are responsible to return that small stretch of South Park Street to normal.
