Facing the Atlantic winds, Halifax carries a proud maritime spirit. Fishing boats bob beside modern waterfront cafés, and sea breezes carry stories of exploration.
Halifax is the lively urban centre of Nova Scotia, Canada, where old and new come together to create a unique, picturesque place to live, amidst all the modern amenities of the beautiful East Coast. With its location along one of the largest natural harbours in the world, Halifax serves as the centre for economic and cultural activity in the Atlantic Provinces.
The deep, ice-free harbour has been integral to the city's development, both as a major naval base on this continent and as an extremely important location for shipping and immigration during its many years of being Canada’s largest port to welcome approximately 1 million immigrants to Canada via Pier 21 between 1928 and 1971.
