Halifax is the commercial centre of Atlantic Canada. It is a safe, clean municipality home to charming seaside communities, sparkling coves and miles of rugged Atlantic shoreline. The municipality encompasses the former cities of Halifax and Dartmouth, the Town of Bedford and the County of Halifax - an area larger than Prince Edward Island, and home to forty percent of the province's population.
Halifax offers excellent cuisine, live theatre, a professional symphony, numerous art galleries, museums, and the excitement of city living, the charms of small-town life and the pristine beauty of nature all in one place.
