Ships Start Here

Nova Scotia. Built to build.

Nova Scotia’s response to the
Government of Canada’s National
Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy.

Next 30

If Halifax Shipyard wins the National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy bid, the next 30 years could be very different for both the city and the region. From more jobs, to more research and innovation, to more money in the local economy, the possibilities really are quite endless.

The Next 30 section of ShipsStartHere.ca highlights what community, government, and business leaders are excited could happen in the next 30 years.

This isn’t empty speculation, or impossible hopes. These are things that really could—and likely will—happen if the contract is won.

Read the stories linked to on the left. We hope that this will give you a sense of how important this for the province, the region, Canada as a whole, and your own community.
