I have posted a short report that I have sent to Councillor Dawn Sloane at

Since I am stating that I am representing residents of the HRM it is important to know if this is really what the residents of the HRM want? Or this just what I want?
Since I moved away from the HRM 29 years ago and do not pay tax down there I have doubts about whether I should be stating that I am representing people in the HRM. I think this is probably more a matter for HRM residents since whether or not Halifax gets a stadium could have an effect on the tax rates in the HRM. For me it is just a matter of personal interest and a desire to see my hometown get a stadium and get a CFL team and intentional events.
Please give your honest opinion. The report is quite short. The meeting is set for tomorrow at 2PM Monday January 18 at city hall and I need to know if I should be going. There should be many others at the meeting if there is really strong interest in an HRM stadium.
