Your City Hall just had a wild week with the weather and housing.

Your City Hall's been busy, my son, and not just with the rain!

Some good morning, buddy — this is Halifax, and we have stories.

Well now, what a week it's been down at City Hall, eh? Felt like we were getting tossed around more than a ferry in a chop out there on the harbour. One minute we're talking about getting more folks into homes and making sure they've got a good roof over their head, the next we're all looking out the window at the sky.

Here's the quick take on what's been on their minds:

* **Housing, housing, housing:** Always a big one, my son. They've been chewing on ways to get more folks into homes.

* **The weather, eh?:** Lord, we've had some doozies! From active alerts to a full-on storm, the City's been busy making sure we're all ready for whatever the Atlantic throws our way.

* **Getting around:** They've also been looking at our streets and how we all move about this grand city.

So yeah, some good, some bad, and a whole lot of rain, but our City Hall's been right in the thick of it, making plans for all of us here in Halifax. You stay safe out there, buddy.

Some good morning, buddy — this is Halifax, and we have stories.
