Under the Municipal Government Act, Council is permitted to approve funds which are dispersed by the District Councillor according to a Council Approved Policy. Regional Councillors are allocated $3,000 in Discretionary Funds and $65,000 in Capital Funds each fiscal year. These funds are dispersed at the District Councillor=s discretion in accordance with the approved policy. Discretionary funds are made to not-for-profit groups and cannot be made to individuals. The District Capital Funds provides partial or full funding to HRM capital projects or community non-profit groups. These funds are for physical amenities including, but not limited to, playgrounds, parks and community beautification. These funds can also be used to support significant projects outside of the district that benefit the overall development of the municipality as a whole. For a specific listing of expenditures please visit my website or contact the Councillor’s Office. The majority of District Capital funds for District 14 are not spent since major park and recreation upgrades are still in the planning stages.
