Paul Kent and Greater Halifax Partnership

Greater Halifax Partnership: Immigration to Nova Scotias biggest city hit an eight-year low last year, while outmigration to other parts of Canada spiked to its highest level in over a decade, the report found, according to The Chronicle Herald. If our population declines, our fiscal sustainability is threatened, Paul Kent and Fred Morley, both with the Greater Halifax Partnership, said in an introduction to the Halifax Index 2014 and Halifax is facing a population crisis as fewer people move to the city and more pack their bags for other parts of the country, a new report says. Halifaxs population grew 0.4 per cent last year, half the municipalitys normal rate and lagging behind most Canadian cities. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
