We don’t just connect communities;
we are part of them 

Halifax Harbour Bridges is committed to making a positive impact through its community initiatives, demonstrating that strong community ties and support are integral to its operations.

Celebrating local organizations  

Through the Key Partner Program, HHB actively engages with and supports local registered charities that have a positive impact in our community. The Macdonald Bridge Banner Program and MacKay Bridge Rock Gardens prominently showcase local non-profits and community groups, celebrating their vital work and contributions.

Encouraging employee involvement

HHB believes in empowering its employees to make a difference. HHB’s volunteer policy allows permanent full-time, permanent part-time, and seasonal employees who have completed their probationary period to take one day of paid leave annually to volunteer with a charity or non-profit organization of their choice.  

Community support initiatives 

A commitment to community support is reflected in various initiatives led by HHB and its employees. Among them:

  • Canadian Mental Health Association’s Push-Up Challenge: Team HHB raised $500 to support the CMHA Nova Scotia Division, helping to provide mental health services across the province. 

  • Red Cross Wildfire Relief: In response to devastating fires, HHB staff raised $2,250 to assist the Red Cross in helping affected Nova Scotians.

  • Out of the Cold: Staff collected and donated twice as many socks as anticipated for unhoused individuals. 

  • Feed Nova Scotia: With the MACPASS Customer Service Centre taking the lead, staff donated to Feed Nova Scotia through its Stuff-A-Bus campaign. 

Promoting safety and awareness 

The Angus L. Macdonald Bridge played a pivotal role in Project Red Ribbon, an initiative by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Halifax. The event included an official proclamation at the Macdonald garage, followed by MADD members and Halifax Regional police officers distributing red ribbons to drivers at the toll plaza to promote the importance of sober driving.
