Stress-Free Travel Feels Good With increased air access and a greater number of direct flights from major Canadian and international cities, Halifax is more accessible than ever before and a stress-free choice for national attendees. Once you’re here, getting around the city is a breeze. Halifax is an incredibly safe city day or night, and its compact downtown core means everything from hotels to excursions and the beautiful seaside is always a short walk away. Delegates love how easy it is to be immersed in the city. They can quickly grab a bite at a local restaurant or take a break between sessions to stroll the waterfront. For those who prefer not to walk, Halifax has them covered. Delegates can jump on local transit, rent bikes, scooters, Segways, kayaks, Sea- Doos, or join a tour to explore. Warm Welcomes Included Halifax is a city that wants you to come visit. As port-city, Halifax has always welcomed visitors and newcomers to its shores and that warm and welcoming culture lives strong in the city today. It’s also easy to find the histories and cultures that bind Haligonians together, no matter where they’re from, at Halifax’s many museums, cultural centers, and festivals. Unlike larger cities, where events blur into the happenings of the city, in Halifax your event doesn’t go unnoticed, in fact, the whole city rallies behind it. Local businesses provide special discounts and offers for delegates, and would-be competing venues and partners collaborate seamlessly to ensure the best possible experience for you and your attendees. Halifax Punches Above Its Weight Halifax has a modest population of just over 420,000, but the downtown core punches above its weight with more than 200 restaurants and bars with a diverse culinary offering, and more than 6,600 hotel rooms, including luxury options, all within easy reach of Halifax’s incredible art and music scenes. At the heart of it all is the state-of-the-art Halifax Convention Centre, a world-class venue offering 120,000 sq. ft. of flexible event space that utilizes cutting edge technologies and sustainable design to elevate every event. Halifax has proven it's capable of handling large-scale events; hosting prestigious gatherings like the North American Indigenous Games and the Junos.
