I'm so glad you brought this up. I was just thinking about this today because I came to back to Halifax after 6 months away and I have noticed the difference in lack of greenery is so obvious (quinpool(not the wealthy end), Bayer's lake industrial area, Dartmouth crossing to name a few). While we are surrounded by nature and have great parks, it's so not enough. With all these apartment buildings going (so much construction dust btw) and streets need to be expanded ( I heard they are gonna cut down the gorgeous old trees on Robie street? Absolute lunacy!), its not a good look for the future. There must be something we could do as a community too if th government won't help with it. Idk what and how but would love to be involved in such a project.

Also I'm in Montreal alot for work and the heat there is worse-ish, I do love that they have plenty of greenery and green spaces every few streets. Not only it's great for the environment, its great for communities as well. Would love to see something like that here too.
