Welcome to the Halifax Gateway

Halifax is an international gateway to the world.

The Halifax Gateway is an important transportation centre on North America’s east coast for the movement of international cargo and passengers. It is those businesses and organizations in Halifax that link other businesses and organizations by air, sea, road and rail to the rest of North America.

The Halifax Gateway Council (HGC) provides a forum for transportation stakeholders in the Halifax region to work collectively to improve the competitiveness and efficiency of goods and passenger movements through Atlantic Canada’s primary gateway.

The Halifax Gateway’s economic impact is crucial to the region. It is a major employment generator for Nova Scotia, makes a significant contribution to the GDP and economic output of the Nova Scotia economy, as well as generates tax and other revenues for all levels of government.
