Voices of Business: A History of Commerce in Halifax 1750-2000

A valuable and vivid portrait of North America's oldest Chamber of Commerce, Voices of Business brings to life the many business and social issues this volunteer-led business group has managed over 250 years in an effort to make Halifax a better place in which to live and work. While tracing such stories as the significance of the city's port facilities, military presence, and development of new industries, this book recognizes the efforts of many dedicated citizens who have helped to make Halifax the vibrant, growing and diverse city it is at the dawn of the 21st century.
