DEFSEC Atlantic presented by the Atlantic Canada
Aerospace & Defence Association will be conducted as a safe and
productive event for all. Our intention is to follow industry best
practices in order to keep everyone involved with the Show both
safe and healthy.
As before, the event design is subject to change
as we continue to work with guidance from Nova Scotia
Health, Events Nova Scotia and the venue, the Halifax Convention Centre.
The Nova Scotia International Air Show Association is committed to
creating a safe environment for our industry members to get their business
done while protecting the health and safety of those in attendance and
residents of the province at large. We look forward to working together
with all of our partners to plan and execute a highly successful event in
a safe fashion.
