Halifax, Nova Scotia

Halifax, officially the City–County of Halifax, is the capital and largest city of Nova Scotia, one of 13 provinces of the Canadian Republic. It is a single-tier municipality, meaning that it is considered one of the counties of Nova Scotia while the municipal and county levels of government are merged into a single jurisdiction with a common administration; all other counties of Nova Scotia each consist of a single county government and several incorporated municipalities with their own municipal (local) governments as well as some unincorporated areas which rely on the county for all local government services.

Halifax is home to the largest base of the Canadian Navy, as well as the operational headquarters of the Canadian Coast Guard for the Atlantic, the Pacific operational headquarters being located in New Westminster, British Columbia.
