Halifax, Nova Scotia
Souvenir apparel programs for Halifax retailers
Drawn, digitized and stitched in Vancouver, for the more than a thousand retail doors that reorder every season
The Port of Halifax handled 201 cruise ships and 360,000 passengers in 2024, its longest season to date, and the ships berth at Pier 21 and Pier 22 at the south end of the waterfront boardwalk that runs north to Historic Properties past the gift shops. The Citadel above the city recorded 1,088,705 visits in fiscal 2025-26, double its 2019 count. Halifax is the Atlantic hub, and the rack here has to serve the cruise passenger with an hour and the Maritimes road-tripper with a week.
What sells on the boardwalk
Lobster, lighthouse, the Bluenose schooner, the Nova Scotia tartan, an anchor. Our New Brunswick accounts reorder the Whale Tail and the Marine Flags, and both localize to Halifax with the harbour and the Bluenose as the mark. The cruise passenger buys the design that names the port, so a clean Halifax wordmark in embroidery is the volume seller, and the Canada maple leaf designs cover the international ships. Cruise calls peak in September and October when the boardwalk is cold, and crewneck fleece sells accordingly.

Getting stock to the pier
Ground courier from Vancouver reaches Halifax in about 6 business days. The spring order ships in April for the first calls, a July order lands before the September and October peak, and reorders go through your rep sized to the call schedule. Merchandising displays suit a boardwalk kiosk and a Spring Garden Road storefront alike.

Questions
What Halifax buyers ask
What is the minimum order for a Halifax shop?
Twelve pieces per design. A first program for a Halifax shop usually opens with a few designs on tees and adds fleece and caps once the season shows what sells.
How long does shipping to Halifax take?
About 6 business days by ground courier from Vancouver. Orders leave our Vancouver floor once the run is stitched, and reorders go out on the schedule your rep sets with you.
Can the designs say Halifax?
Yes. Every design in the catalogue is namedrop-ready: the artwork stays and the lettering becomes Halifax. Designs are drawn, digitized and stitched in Vancouver, and namedrops are included with the program at no art charge.
How do reorders work?
Through your rep, sized to your season. Reorders run on a standing schedule from the Vancouver floor so a hot colour never leaves a hole in the wall.
