In 1996, The Cities of Halifax and Dartmouth, the Town of Bedford and Halifax County Municipality amalgamated, forming Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM). We are home to approximately 378,000 citizens and

encompass a diverse geographic area that is larger than the province of Prince Edward Island.

Halifax Regional Municipality strives to provide the best quality of life in a healthy, sustainable, vibrant community at work, play and everyday.
