For the past 14 years, the Scotiabank Blue Nose Marathon has
brought people of all ages, abilities and fitness levels from
Nova Scotia and around the world together over the Victoria
Day long weekend to get active. Halifax has proven over and over again to be an excellent location for the Scotiabank Blue Nose Marathon by allowing event organizers to tap into the high level of generosity and volunteerism that Nova Scotians embody with over 1,500 volunteers participating each year!

The Sutton Place Hotels, a sophisticated collection of luxury properties in North America, is opening a new hotel in Halifax’s Nova Centre, the complex that is home to the newly opened Halifax Convention Centre. This is the first Sutton Place property in Atlantic Canada.

The Canadian Society of Safety Engineering (CSSE) is Canada’s largest national professional organization for health and safety practitioners. Halifax was the clear choice for CSSE organizers when their conference was due to meet in Atlantic Canada. Organizers and attendees recognized all that the city has to offer, including our East Coast hospitality.

With a vibrant and diverse aquaculture industry, Nova Scotia provided the perfect venue to host the 2017 Aquaculture Canada & Sea Farmers Conference to showcase advances in science and technology in preparing sustainable food systems.

The Halifax Convention Centre will host a Welcome Weekend open to the public Jan. 12-14, providing an opportunity to tour the new facility.
