Halifax: FUSION Halifax

Grassroots Organization Dept: Five years after its creation, the grassroots organization run by and for young people who want a better Halifax continues to disprove the canard that their generation is disengaged, according to The Chronicle Herald. Just last week, FUSION held its third successful VivaCity event, which brought together 15 developers, its members and the general public to discuss some of the latest projects, ongoing or planned, in the municipality and t ALK, as they say, is cheap. So it s worth congratulating a group who ve backed up their rhetoric with effective, inclusive action. Indeed, FUSION Halifax, which now boasts more than 2,000 members aged 20 to 40 in the regional municipality, has added an energetic, progressive and very welcome voice on a range of key issues for Nova Scotia s largest urban centre, from development and transportation to culture, immigration and jobs.
