TAKE THE LEAD CHAMPIONS

Take the Lead partners come from a variety of backgrounds. We have researchers, dance coaches, accountants, board members, and fans, to name a few. The one thing they all have in common is a desire to bring big events to our doorstep. 


The opportunities they foster bring millions of dollars in economic impact each year and make our city a more vibrant place to live and work. 


Join us in a round of applause for our Take the Lead Champions who have turned their passions into events for our city! Halifax couldn’t have done it without you.

TAKE THE LEAD CHAMPION PIN

Discover Halifax partnered with artist Meichan (Amy) Yaun of NSCAD University in 2022 to create a commemorative pin, which is given to  our Take the Lead Champions. The pin has three symbolic design elements:


  1. The curves symbolize the identity of Halifax, shaped by the ocean. 
  2. It’s lines - the qualities required for leadership. 
  3. The amethyst circle represents our Champions riding high on the wave generated by the event they helped bring into our city.   

READY TO TAKE THE LEAD?

 Discover Halifax is based in Mi'kma'ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi`kmaq. We are all treaty people.
