Top Priorities for 2025

Downtown Halifax Business Commission (DHBC) represents the collective voice for its members when speaking with government, media, and other stakeholders. 

Each year, our Board of Directors, along with our advocacy committee, decide on our top priorities. But, there are always hot topics and projects affecting Downtown Halifax, and those can change daily. We monitor the news and work to provide updates to our membership, assuring we are always one step ahead.
