We are proud to announce the launch of the Halifax Convention Centre’s food sustainability program: Bellies Before Bins! ♻️
This program was designed to ensure any food left over from an event goes into someone’s belly, not in a bin. This is done through reusing ingredients, serving staff, and donating to local community organizations iincluding Second Harvest Deuxième Récolte!

Did you know, over 10,000 meals have been donated in the past year through the Bellies Before Bins program!

This Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating the women who help shape Halifax’s communities, industries, and events every day.

Events like International Women’s Day, hosted at the Halifax Convention Centre, have the power to create connection, opportunity, and belonging.

As Halifax continues to grow as a destination for meetings and conventions, incorporating features like lactation rooms, flexible schedules, and comfortable gathering areas can help our new mothers feel seen and supported.

Because inclusive events don’t just benefit attendees, they help create stronger, more welcoming communities for all.

Happy Mother’s Day from Discover Halifax. 🌷

90 years of music, salt air, and stories worth sharing.

Located on the South Shore, .ca has been bringing people together since 1936 and then inside its iconic dance hall.

Today, it remains the last of its kind—a place where lobster suppers, local music, and shared tables create something you can’t quite replicate anywhere else.

For event planners, it’s more than a venue. It’s a true East Coast experience. The kind your guests feel, remember, and talk about long after they’ve gone home.

Here’s to 90 years of tradition, connection, and unforgettable nights.
