Encompassing a diversity of people and areas within Downtown Halifax, Downtown Dartmouth, Gottingen Street, Spring Garden Road, and the Quinpool Road areas, the Capital District has it all.

The Capital District Task Force coordinates HRM's services in this area including, maintenance, public works and planning. This group is made up of HRM staff and external agencies, including the downtown business commissions and the Waterfront Development Corporation.
