About Halifax - Our Regional Municipality
Probably the best way to find out more about our home city is to visit the Halifax Visitors website. Our city is best known for it's rich seafaring history, and of course events that were to leave impressions engrained in our memories such as the sinking of the Titanic, the role we played as a naval port in both World Wars, and of course most infamously, The Halifax Explosion, the largest accidental (manmade) explosion in history. Today, Halifax is a vibrant city, actually a municipality of communities, rich with culture, activities, and events hosted by Canada's friendliest residents!
