Tourism Nova Scotia is partnering with Develop Nova Scotia to create a visitor experience strategy for Georges Island and McNabs Island through the Tourism Revitalization of Icons Program (TRIP).
On Tuesday, February 12, the province announced that $100,000 will be invested in a strategy to enhance visitor access and experiences on the Halifax Harbour islands. This is part of the $1.5 million announced in July for the Halifax waterfront through the program.
Develop Nova Scotia will lead this project in consultation with property owners, management agencies, island users, and visitors. The public will have the opportunity to share their ideas through pop-ups and an online survey.
More information about the project and public consultations is available at: https://my-waterfront.ca/2019/02/12/harbour-islands-visitor-experience-strategy/
