Sport tourism is a $2.5 billion industry in Canada. Events Halifax (Eh!) was created in 1998 to help organizations in Halifax and Nova Scotia grow the sport tourism industry in this province. In its eight year history, Eh! has been instrumental in securing many large events for Halifax as well as working on bids to host many other events.

Eh! identifies events that are available for bidding and determines if Nova Scotia has a suitable event site. This decision is based on matching the needs of a specific event with available facilities, accommodations, venues and volunteer base.
