Welcoming & Diverse

At our Centre, we understand that a diverse workplace not only brings different perspectives but fosters a more inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and respected. That’s why we developed a multi-year organizational Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Framework that will guide our focus well into the future. To support our commitment, this year our leadership team and employees completed an EDI fundamentals training program to broaden our perspective and continue learning. We also created a diversity calendar, encouraging our employees and guests to acknowledge and celebrate important dates recognized by our diverse community.

We are proud to be a certified Rainbow Registered business, which designates the Centre as a 2SLGBTQIA+-inclusive business that provides a welcoming, accepting, and safe customer and staff experience. This accomplishment shows our commitment to promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion.

In 2022, we were honoured to be recognized as a Certified Age Friendly Employer by the Age-Friendly Institute. This program identifies organizations that demonstrate commitment to being an exceptional place to work for employees over 50 with policies and programs that support employees of all ages.

At the Halifax Convention Centre, we have an incredible team behind the scenes and client-facing who help us deliver exceptional event experiences. Our team works hard each and every day to help our clients create unforgettable event experiences.
