After a brief summer hiatus, we are back with an in-person interview with Erin Esiyok-Prime, Director of Marketing and Communications for Events East Group. Erin will be talking to Allana about the re-emergence of events in Downtown Halifax, and how conventions, events, and festivals will play a crucial role in the economic recovery of the Downtown area. She’ll also tell us about some upcoming events to look forward to this fall.
On Biz Buzz, we have some business updates and milestones to share, we’ll tell you about our new Placemaking Manager, Jonathan Goldson, we’ll talk things to do this September in Downtown Halifax, and we’ll touch quickly on patio season, parking in Downtown Halifax, and the new Merchant Validation Program with HotSpot for businesses.
