The Halifax Regional Municipality has over 900 parks in urban, suburban and rural settings that are used for a variety of recreation and leisure purposes. In some circumstances, parks are also locations through which people travel between destinations. While parks are typically used during daylight hours, park lighting needs to be considered to accommodate evening use as well. Currently, there is no formal process to evaluate when and where lighting might be installed, and which parks, or areas within parks, should be prioritized.
A Park Lighting Strategy is being developed to address the safe use and passageway in parks. The information gathered through this survey will help shape the process, criteria, prioritization, and design of spaces within parks that could be considered for lighting.
The engagement program is organized into two tasks:
Task 1 includes a few questions about you and preferences for lighting.
Task 2 includes interactive maps for you to highlight your experiences in parks as they relate to lighting.
The engagement program will be available from May 15 to June 18, 2023. Paper copies of the survey can also be collected from all branches of the Halifax Public Libraries. If you require special accommodation to participate in the engagement program, please contact Stephen Cushing at cushins@halifax.ca.
In accordance with Section 485 of the Municipal Government Act (MGA), any personal information collected in this survey will only be used by municipal staff and, if necessary, individuals and/or organizations under service contract with the Halifax Regional Municipality for purposes relating to the development of the municipal Park Lighting Strategy, and the information will not be presented or compiled in a manner that could potentially identify any respondent. If you have any questions about the collection and use of this personal information, please contact the Access and Privacy Office at 902.943.2148 or privacy@halifax.ca.

Thank you for participating in the development of the Park Lighting Strategy. As we determine the best approaches for considering lighting, we would like to know more about you and your experiences within parks during the evening hours.
Once you complete this survey you can continue to the interactive mapping in Task 2.
All of your responses will be kept strictly anonymous. No effort will be made to identify anyone who completes the survey. We appreciate your feedback.
