👉 What’s the first thing you think of when you hear “Halifax”? Our team had an incredible time at DEFSEC Atlantic — reconnecting with old friends, meeting new partners, and being inspired by the energy that always makes this event so special. Halifax never disappoints, and neither does the amazing community that gathers here every year. Events like DEFSEC remind us why collaboration matters so much in this industry: they spark ideas, strengthen relationships, and open doors to new opportunities. #DEFSECAtlantic #DEFSEC @ACADA_Atlantic
