Halifax Gateway

The Halifax Gateway 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 is defined by the people, infrastructure, and services that move roughly half a million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) of container cargo, over 3 million air passengers, and more than 200,000 cruise passengers through the region each year.

HGC was established in 2004.
