Shared Vision,
Ambition and Growth

The founding of (Greater) Halifax Partnership marked a deliberate choice: for the private sector to take the lead in growing Halifax's economy, supported by government. Those visionary leaders knew that through collective investment and effort, Halifax could realize its potential as a vibrant and competitive economy.

What follows is the story of Halifax and Halifax Partnership through three eras, each defined by the city's economic reality at the time and by how Halifax Partnership helped rally and convene leadership; align priorities; and turn challenges and opportunities into defining moments. Halifax's economic story is one of steadily building confidence and collaboration, shared ambition and action, and accelerated growth.
