Your City Hall just wrapped up a wild week. Here's what happened.

Your City Hall just wrapped up a wild week, buddy!

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

Well now, my son, 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. If you blinked, you might've missed somethin' important!

### What's Been Cookin'

* **Weather, Weather, Everywhere:** Seemed like every day council was talkin' about the sky. Those storms we had? They were a big deal for City Hall, tryin' to keep everyone safe and sound. Some serious alerts goin' out!

* **Homes for Folks:** Beyond the rain, a good chunk of the talk was about getting more roofs over heads. They're still pushin' hard to make sure everyone in Halifax has a warm place to call their own.

* **Busy Bees:** Even with all the weather distractions, they were still hammerin' away at the usual city business. Never a dull moment, that's for sure.

So, if you felt like things were movin' fast, you weren't wrong. Some good week, some good.

Tommy MacLellan, signing off from the Morning Wire.

You can always catch more yarns over at mornings.live, my son.
