Halifax is a city that continues to grow, evolve, and strengthen as we face both challenges and exciting opportunities in the years ahead. Every year the Halifax Chamber of Commerce and the Halifax Partnership host the Mayor of HRM for a State of the Municipality update. This event is an opportunity for you to connect with our newly elected Mayor and hear about his experience since taking office, learn about the current state and future for the Municipality, and learn how the city's projects are progressing. 

 Join us on April 14th at the Halifax Convention Centre to hear from Mayor Andy Fillmore for his first Annual State of the Municipality as Mayor of Halifax.
