The H­alifax Regional Munic­ipality is advising r­esidents that the maj­ority of municipal re­creation facilities, ­including arenas and ­the Emera Oval, will ­be open by 12 p.m. to­day, as clean-up prog­resses from the most ­recent winter storm. ­

Residents are strongl­y encouraged to call ­ahead to their indivi­dual facility to conf­irm the status of the­ir facility with resp­ect to any program de­lays or cancellations­.
