Mike Savage
Mayor Mike Savage is at the heart of Halifax’s transformative climate action efforts, steering the city towards a sustainable future. Under his leadership, Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) has embarked on an ambitious journey to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 through the HalifACT plan—a bold framework consisting of 46 actions, unanimously approved by the Regional Council in June 2020. Significant strides include the redevelopment of the Cogswell Interchange into a green, high-density district with a new transit hub, cycling lanes, and energy-efficient housing. Additionally, HRM’s electric bus and ferry fleet project, coupled with extensive EV charging infrastructure, showcases a commitment to significantly cutting energy use and fuel consumption. Mayor Savage’s forward-thinking approach not only accelerates Halifax’s path to sustainability but also reinforces the City’s role as a model for climate resilience and action.
