Save Sandy Lake
Sandy Lake and Sackville River form a popular nature space on the edge of Halifax’s urban centre. It’s home to an outstandingly biodiverse community of birds, bugs, flowers, mosses and more, all nestled among some of Nova Scotia’s last remaining old-growth forests.
But the provincial government’s Task Force on Housing in HRM picked the Sandy Lake – Sackville River area as one of its locations to fast-track for housing development, putting this unique and crucial ecosystem at risk.
