Halifax Regional Municipality - Sister Cities

Sister Cities

  • Hakodate, Japan (1982). The cities chose to twin because they both have star forts.
  • Campeche, Mexico (1999). Campeche was chosen because, like Halifax, it is "a capital of a state" and is "a city of similar size to Halifax on or near the coast having rich historical tradition".
  • Norfolk, Virginia (2006). Norfolk was chosen because, like Halifax, its economy "depends heavily on the presence of the Armed Forces, and both cities are very proud of their military history".
