Municipality Staff: Highway and Signs

municipality staff: According to an information report for Tuesday's council meeting, there are currently three gateway signs at 100-series highway entry points at Highway 101 near Mount Uniacke, Highway 102 near Enfield and Highway 103 near Hubbards, according to The Chronicle Herald. They aren't due to be replaced but when they are, they will likely be written in multiple languages. Halifax Regional Municipality staff say they want to make highway signs more multicultural and inclusive, with the addition of French and Mi'kmaq to the now-English signs. In June 2015, regional council requested a staff report outlining the implications of updating these HRM Gateway signs. There was some debate regarding which languages should be included with suggestions like English, French, Mi'kmaq/First Nations, Gaelic and Arabic. In the discussion, it was noted that signs should only be updated where there is a need to repaint, repair or replace them. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
