Inclusion, accessibility and training in Halifax.
Halifax’s economy includes ocean-related businesses, transportation and logistics, financial services, life sciences and digital industries. A project may connect urban offices with operational facilities or service users elsewhere in the municipality. Inclusion and accessibility work should follow the actual employment or customer journey rather than treating every site as interchangeable.
Halifax
Plan around your operating context.
Identify whether the engagement covers Halifax, Dartmouth and Bedford or includes more dispersed locations. Agree on participation formats, travel assumptions and the sites that best represent the work. For public-facing services, bring the information users receive before arrival as well as the procedures staff use once they are on site.
- Locations and people
- Include Halifax and any participating sites in Dartmouth, Bedford, Lower Sackville, Cole Harbour or elsewhere.
- Decisions and deliverables
- Identify the policy, process, training or physical barrier you want to address, and who will approve the recommendations.
- Languages and timing
- State the working languages, accessible participation needs, target date and any procurement deadline.

Planning a project in Halifax?
Which services can I request in Halifax?
You can discuss diversity, equity and inclusion, accessibility, people and culture, training, supplier diversity, social impact, and implementation. Choose a focused review or combine related services with agreed deliverables.
Can the work be delivered remotely or on site?
Document reviews, planning and some learning can be scoped remotely. Site observations and in-person sessions require a confirmed location, schedule and travel arrangements. We agree the format and availability in the proposal; a service-area page does not identify a local office.
How much does a project cost?
Pricing depends on the scope, number of sites or participants, documents, languages, travel and deliverables. Send a short description and your target date. The proposal identifies the work included, dependencies and fees before you commit.
Can one engagement cover nearby communities?
Include Dartmouth, Bedford, Lower Sackville, Cole Harbour or other relevant communities in your brief. Name each site and the people involved so the proposal can distinguish shared work from location-specific visits, materials and responsibilities.
Diversity.ca supports business and public-sector projects across Canada. Remote work, visits, delivery languages, travel costs and timing are agreed in each proposal. These pages describe service areas, not local offices.
