I would like to take this opportunity, as a member of the executive of the Halifax Homeowners Association to invite you to attend:
A free public presentation with renowned convention centre expert
Dr. Heywood Sanders
to consider questions you have about the proposed convention centre promises.
Is there a business case?
Will it revitalize the downtown?
What are the impacts?
Dr. Heywood Sanders holds a PhD in government from Harvard University, is a professor of public administration at the University of Texas at San Antonio and has taught at Brown University, the University of Illinois, and Trinity University. His research looks at urban politics and development, and includes the 2005 Brookings Institution study of convention centers, "Space Available." Dr. Sanders is currently completing a book on convention center development and politics. An article he published in which he looked at the new Vancouver convention centre can be seen at http://www.governmentripoff.com/005kpmgft.html
It will take place at
Halifax: Monday, November 8th, 7:00- 9:00 pm,
Saint Mary's Sobey School of Business, 923 Robie St
Followed by Q & A
Hosted by: Coalition to End Poverty for Nova Scotia * Council of Canadians-Inverness Chapter * Council of Canadians-South Shore Chapter * Ecology Action Centre * Facebook Group-Save the View from Citadel Hill * Friends of the Halifax Common * Halifax Regional Homeowner's Association * Nova Scotia Heritage Trust * Nova Scotia Public Interest Research Group * Peninsula South Neighbourhood Association * Sierra Club of Canada-Atlantic Chapter * see www.savetheview.ca
