The Halifax Regional Municipality is comprised of more than 200 unique communities across nine distinct regions. Each region boasts its own rich history, distinct character, and exceptional experiences, making the Halifax region a tapestry of cultural and natural beauty. From bustling cityscapes to serene seasides, Halifax has something for everyone to enjoy and explore.
Halifax is in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people. The people of the Mi’kmaw Nation have lived on this territory for millennia, and we acknowledge them as the past, present and future caretakers of this land. Historically, a land acknowledgment is a traditional practice shared amongst Indigenous groups to recognize the Indigenous land and territory they are visiting. Today a land acknowledgement remains a way to express one’s gratitude to the Indigenous people for being stewards of the land that we live and work on.
