Location
Our office is located in downtown Halifax, within walking distance of the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic and the Halifax Waterfront. Street parking available on Water Street and adjacent streets. Public transit accessible via Metro Transit routes 1, 10, and 20.
The office is housed in a heritage building dating to 1887, originally constructed as a ship chandlery serving vessels departing for the Grand Banks fishing grounds. The building underwent heritage restoration in 2019, maintaining original timber framing and stone foundation while updating mechanical systems.
Visitors are welcome during office hours. No appointment necessary for general inquiries, though scheduled meetings are recommended for detailed program consultations or archive access.
