Halifax Port Authority

On March 1, 1999, the Halifax Port Authority (HPA) succeeded the Halifax Port Corporation. Halifax was one of the first of 18 Canadian ports to implement this administrative change as required by the Canada Marine Act (Bill C-9), which was passed on June 11, 1998. As an Agent of the Crown under the direction of the Minister of Transport, the Halifax Port Authority is responsible for administering Halifax Harbour.
