Public Consultation

Rank Inc. launched Build Your Centre, a public engagement process, in July 2012 to discover our community’s visions and principles for the look and feel of the Nova Centre, which will be home to HRM's new convention centre.

New building renderings shown below were presented in downtown Halifax on October 3, 2012, and reflect input from the engagement process. In December the final design will be presented. There are many ways to engage face to face or online.

Join the conversation and help build your centre.
