Our Regional Municipality encompasses the former cities of Halifax and Dartmouth, the Town of Bedford and the County of Halifax -- an area larger than Prince Edward Island, and home to forty percent of our province's population.
Metro Halifax is the commercial, educational, research and technological centre of Atlantic Canada. Six universities, an excellent college system and several leading research institutions, make our citizens the best educated in Canada. We are consistently ranked as one of the best places to do business in North America.
We are a safe, clean municipality, offering excellent cuisine, live theatre, a professional symphony, numerous art galleries, museums, and the excitement of city living, the charms of small-town life and the pristine beauty of nature - all in one place.
Our Mandate
The Halifax Regional Municipality is responsible for public safety (police, fire, and emergency services); basic infrastructure (streets and roads, sidewalks, sewers, traffic control, solid waste disposal, and public transit) and services supporting quality of life and the growth and development of business within the Region (parks, recreation, libraries, tourism, heritage, culture, and economic development).
Our Objectives
Our goal is to be the best managed, most livable community in Canada. Our objectives are centred around safe, healthy, sustainable, vibrant communities; excellence in governance and excellence in service delivery. By focusing on outcomes sought by our citizens, HRM is working on creating an organization that encourages excellence in customer service, innovation, creativity, individual risk-taking and shared ownership of issues.
