About this event It's been a long time since we've been able to connect with the community in person. We had to scrap our social event in September so let's make this a great one! Join us for some lightning talks on the topic of "what was the last thing you broke" hear from our community members as they recount the last thing they broke and how they were able to fix it.

The Port of Halifax now has one terminal operator, one railroad operator, and one port authority. This change helps Halifax become a One Port City and will create new opportunities for our community. This Data Challenge will invite participants to imagine new ways to drive port efficiency and sustainability, and to help us better understand and communicate the benefits of being a single container terminal operator port. We are inviting students at post-secondary institutions across Atlantic Canada to use ocean data to examine how we can drive urban port sustainability through this Challenge.
