Halifax Regional Community Council

A Community Council in Nova Scotia's Halifax Regional Municipality is a form of local government consisting of several councillors from the larger Halifax Regional Council.

Community councils represent a geographic area covering anywhere from five to six municipal districts where councillors consider local matters, make recommendations to Halifax Regional Council, and provide opportunities for public input.

The community council model was adopted by the municipality following incorporation in 1996, largely to placate the concerns of residents in the wake of the contentious municipal amalgamation. The current community councils were adopted after the 2012 election. ^[1]
