CPBI Atlantic will host our opening reception and dinner at Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 on September 30, 2026. Join us for an evening of reflection, connection and networking.
Our conference begins on a day that invites all of us to pause, learn, and reflect. We honour Indigenous Peoples and their enduring cultures, histories, and contributions, and we recognize the importance of this national day of reflection and learning. We also acknowledge that our gathering takes place in Halifax, on the traditional and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people, covered by the Peace and Friendship Treaties.
As we come together over these three days, we invite you to take part in meaningful moments that we will weave throughout the program.
Outside Halifax, Nova Scotia rewards visitors with the world’s highest tides on the Bay of Fundy, vineyard tours in the Annapolis Valley, scenic drives along the iconic Cabot Trail, and world-class golf on dramatic coastal courses.

Halifax’s nightlife pulse runs strong year‑round—from lively pubs and chic cocktail bars to scenic harbour cruises under the night sky.
View the weather in Halifax before your visit. Halifax enjoys a balanced, temperate climate year‑round—winters are milder than inland Canada, and summers remain warm without being oppressively hot.
