About Halifax Regional Municipality
The area
Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) covers about 5,480 km² of central Nova Scotia's Atlantic coast and had about 439,800 people in 2021. Most people live in Halifax, Dartmouth and the suburbs around them, but the municipality also takes in large rural areas. West of the city, St. Margarets Bay takes in coastal communities from Tantallon and Hubley to Peggy's Cove and Hubbards. North and inland, the Shubenacadie Lakes area (Fall River, Waverley, Enfield) mixes lakes with commuter subdivisions. The Musquodoboit Valley, around Middle and Upper Musquodoboit, is mostly forest with beef and dairy farms, sawmills and quarries. The Eastern Shore follows the coast east from Musquodoboit Harbour past Tangier and Sheet Harbour to Ecum Secum.
History
HRM is in Mi'kma'ki, the ancestral land of the Mi'kmaq, and the municipality acknowledges the Peace and Friendship Treaties signed here. Settlers from Scotland and other parts of Britain took up farms in the Musquodoboit Valley from the 1780s, and farming and forestry have carried the valley since. The present municipality was formed on April 1, 1996, when the cities of Halifax and Dartmouth, the Town of Bedford and Halifax County were amalgamated.
Services and access
The Charles V. Keating Emergency and Trauma Centre at the QEII's Halifax Infirmary runs a 24-hour emergency department. On the Eastern Shore, Twin Oaks Memorial Hospital in Musquodoboit Harbour has a 24-hour emergency department; the Eastern Shore Memorial Hospital in Sheet Harbour and Musquodoboit Valley Memorial Hospital in Middle Musquodoboit have urgent treatment centres by appointment, not emergency departments. Highway 7 is the main road along the Eastern Shore. Halifax Stanfield International Airport, in Goffs about 35 km north of Halifax by Highway 102, has scheduled flights.
Land and climate
Outside the serviced urban area, lots rely on wells and on-site septic systems, and a septic system has to be approved by the province before a lot can be built on. For shore land, the province's Coastal Hazard Map shows projected sea-level rise and storm surge today, in 2050 and in 2100.
Before you buy
HRM issues building permits and sets zoning everywhere in the municipality. The Regional Plan, in effect since 2014 and under review, sets where growth goes; each community plan area, such as St. Margarets Bay (Planning Districts 1 and 3), Shubenacadie Lakes (Districts 14 and 17), Musquodoboit Valley/Dutch Settlement or Eastern Shore (East), has its own planning strategy and land use by-law. Wildfire is a real risk where houses meet forest: on May 28, 2023, a fire in Upper Tantallon and Hammonds Plains burned more than 900 ha, forced 16,400 people out and destroyed about 200 structures, 151 of them homes.
