What people are saying about Halifax

Very easy to follow the guide. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff everywhere. Very good archives. Library helped me find relatives, took the time to do it. Overall great experience. I was an immigrant who came through those doors

Fascinating history. Stories our guide shared were interesting and heart warming. A woman in our group immigrated from Italy in 1960. It was a moving experience for her and an honour for us to meet her.

Every part of the museum goes through in detail what our ancestors experienced. It was a very enjoyable experience.

The young woman who took the time to find my mothers immigration documents was kind and so helpful. Thank you.

Well worth a visit. Loved the photography exhibition and the journey thru time, learnt something new
