Halifax Corporate Tour
The Halifax Corporate Tour was so popular this fall that it was filled within four hours after registration opened. Due to the interest of students, another stream was added. Thirty students registered for the tour which took them to eight Halifax organizations which included: Aon, Bell Aliant, Citco, Corporate Research Associates, Chronicle Herald, Eastlink, Extreme Group, and Nova Scotia Business Inc. If you missed the fall tour, don’t worry, there will be another Halifax Corporate Tour in the March 2014, with registration taking place in January. Don’t miss it!
