Halifax Regional
Municipality, commonly referred to as HRM or simply Halifax
(44°39′N
63°35′W,
AST) is a
Canadian
regional municipality, the largest population centre in both the
Province of
Nova
Scotia and the
Atlantic region, the
provincial capital, and the cultural and economic centre of Canada's
east coast. Halifax Regional Municipality (2001 population, 359,111) was
created in 1996,
through the amalgamation of the cities of
Halifax and
Dartmouth, the town of
Bedford, and the Municipality of the
County of Halifax. The regional municipality's boundary includes all of
Halifax County except for several First Nation reserves.
The urban core area of HRM is located in the western end of the
municipality, fronting on
Halifax Harbour and constitutes the most populous urban area on Canada's
Atlantic coast, and the second largest coastal population centre in the
country, after
Vancouver, British Columbia. HRM currently accounts for 40% of Nova
Scotia's population, and 15% of that of the
Atlantic provinces.
