Posted by Team Support on July 12th, 2022

Whether it's the eclectic and celebrated chefs, intricate art installations, or people who "obviously aren't from here" taking a dip in the Halifax Harbour, the Queen's Marque has been the talk of town ever since it first opened in Downtown Halifax last November.

If you haven't heard it yet, the Queen’s Marque is Halifax’s newest and chicest district. Beautifully designed, grand, and a touching ode to what makes Halifax such a special, unique place. Home to trendy new restaurants and retail spaces, Atlantic Canada's first "ultra-luxury" boutique hotel, office and residential space, and lots of parking, what's most appealing about the Queen's Marque though, is the almost 100,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed public space - double the amount…

Cinco de Mayo at Home!

Posted by Team Support on May 4th, 2020

Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican Holiday that celebrates the Mexican Army’s victory over the French Empire at the Battle of the Puebla, on May 5, 1862. This Holiday is more often celebrated north of the border and has taken on a different significance, that of Mexican-American culture, which began in California as early as 1863. Mexican celebrations of Cinco de Mayo are much more ceremonial and feature things like military parades or battle reenactments. 

Here in Canada, we celebrate the day with our favourite Mexican-inspired food & drink!
