Out of the Cold: Halifax's Emergency Shelter

Again, a huge thanks to our shelter partners for their support over the past few days and to our guests and volunteers for their understanding and flexibility.Spring Garden Area Business Association

Also, a steeple from St Matthews collapsed at some point during the storm
"The Halifax Regional Municipality is advising residents and motorists Barrington Street will be closed until further notice between Bishop Street and Spring Garden Road.
The street closure is required due to a safety risk relating to a vulnerable church steeple that needs to be stabilized after last night’s winds.
While that portion of Barrington Street will remain closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic, transit buses will be escorted through.
Motorists and pedestrians are asked to find alternative routes until the steeple is repaired.
The municipality appreciates your patience while this work is underway."
