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 Halifax Convention Centre announced today, Oct. 12, the introduction of a local program to showcase Nova Scotia food, culture and experiences to national and international visitors.

We're thrilled to share that our new Halifax Convention Centre has won the bid for the 2018 Canadian Brewing Awards and Conference, marking the first time the event will be hosted in our province.

Close to 500 representatives from breweries across Canada will be here for the three-day event, providing a perfect opportunity for us to showcase our thriving local craft beer industry to the rest of the country.

The Canadian Fair Trade Network brought their annual conference to Halifax for the first time in an effort to build their network in a region that has a strong emphasis on local engagement, and a keen interest in creating healthy and sustainable communities.
