Metropolitan Halifax (2006 pop: 282,924 ), often
referred to as Metro Halifax, or, inaccurately, Halifax,
is the urban part of the Halifax Regional Municipality, a regional
municipality that covers a large area of Nova Scotia, including
rural areas. Metropolitan Halifax is a broad term used to
distinguish the urban core of the HRM from the city of Halifax,
since Halifax is only one of three major urban areas within
Metropolitan Halifax, the others being Dartmouth and Bedford.
Metropolitan Halifax is the most populous urban area in Atlantic
Canada and home to Nova Scotia's capital district.
