The Greater Halifax Partnership (the Partnership) is a catalyst for economic growth and confidence in Greater Halifax, the economic hub of Atlantic Canada.
As a public-private partnership, we have deep insight into the city’s emerging trends and changing needs. We bring together all three levels of government together with more than
130 private-sector investors - large and small companies alike - to accelerate and drive the economic
growth of our region.
