Impacts of a successful bid

The Greater Halifax Partnership has engaged on this project like no other project in our history. The Partnership, along with partner organizations, has commissioned two reports to assess the scope and potential impact of the NSPS on Nova Scotia.

The economic impacts of a successful bid will be significant for the province but not limited to Nova Scotia. We will need to call on hundreds of suppliers, and the result will be prosperity for businesses across Canada.
