Are you a landlord, tenant, retail shop or restaurant operator in the Downtown of Atlantic Canada’s biggest city?
Are you excited to see people returning to work in the Downtown and want to ensure they remain excited and engaged to be there?
Do you or your staff have an idea that just needs a little jump start to bring it to life and make that experience even more exciting for them?
Canada’s downtowns are the lifeblood of our big cities. The micro economies of these cities’ Downtowns have been devastated since the beginning of the pandemic, and Halifax/Dartmouth was no exception. Help us bring our Downtowns back to life and drive the economic recovery of our region and the country!
Join us in creating small, impactful activations in your building or organization that will enhance the experience of people that work Downtown everyday, while enticing new workers and businesses to consider Downtown as the place they want to be!
Tell us how YOU want to bring energy back to Downtown Halifax!
