US Consulate Halifax

Todday, Consul General Limaye took part in the solemn tradition of reciting the names. Hosted in Halifax by the Atlantic Jewish Council, "Unto Every Person There Is A Name," reminds us that each name recited represents a life, an identity, and a story lost. We honor six million Jewish victims and all who suffered under such evil. This act of remembrance is a commitment to reclaiming their dignity and ensuring their memories are preserved for generations to come. Together, we bear witness, reflect, and reaffirm our promise to fight hatred in all its forms.

Today we hosted the opening of The Founders Museum at the U.S. Consulate General Halifax! We were pleased to welcome Dr. Scott Stephenson, President & CEO of the Museum of the American Revolution, as our guest speaker. Thank you Dr. Stephenson! We were delighted to be joined by a wonderful mix of local museum leadership and curators, distinguished historians, members of the academic community and friends of the Consulate. Thank you to everyone who joined us today! 🇺🇸🇨🇦 @AmRevMuseum @WhiteHouse @prageru

“You can see the surface of the Moon…we just went sci-fi.” On flight day seven, images from our @NASAArtemis II crew amazed, turning science fiction to reality. From the lunar far side to a solar eclipse from the Moon, the views are EVERYTHING. No pressure to pick a favorite.

Liftoff. The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon. Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

🇺🇸🇨🇦 the countdown is on!

🇺🇸🌕🇨🇦 So awesome to see American and Canadian astronauts flying side-by-side on this historic mission.

Meaningful to connect with PEI's Jewish community last week as we enter a sacred time for both our faiths. The United States stands with the Jewish community as cases of antisemitism continue to rise.

Had a productive meeting with PEI Premier @RobLantz this afternoon. There is real opportunity ahead to work together and build increased prosperity on both sides of the border. Looking forward to what we can accomplish.

Spent the afternoon with some of PEI’s leading export voices across aerospace, biotech, and agriculture. Came away genuinely impressed by the range and strength of businesses on this island. The United States is eager to do business here.

Our hearts go out to the families of the two pilots lost in the tragic crash involving Air Canada Express 8646. Diane and I are keeping all the victims, families, and first responders in our prayers.

This morning's attack on our Consulate General in Toronto is deeply troubling. I am very grateful that no one was hurt. My team is in close contact with @TorontoPolice and Canadian authorities, and we have full confidence in their investigation. Our work continues, we will not be intimidated.

🏅The Consul General laid a wreath to honor the service and sacrifice of Gulf Veterans, marking the 35th anniversary of Operation Friction and the end of the Gulf War. 🇺🇸🇨🇦 U.S. and Canada share a long history of military collaboration, and this week we stand together once again to say: Lest we forget.

Consul General Viki Limaye was honored to present the U.S. Meritorious Service Medak to Major Antonio Gomez of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Major Gomez's service is a powerful example of the strength and cooperation of the U.S. - Canada defense partnership.

Our hearts and prayers are with the community of Tumbler Ridge and all of British Columbia today. My personal prayer is that in these difficult times, they find the peace and comfort that only He can provide.

The Atlantic Canada Cruise Association is celebrating 30 years in 2026. We recently met with them to discuss the bright future of the "Canada-New England" cruise corridor. From welcoming new ships, to supporting local jobs, our shared borders drive incredible growth. Beyond tourism, we used this opportunity to update industry leadership on our role in providing emergency consular support for American citizens visiting the region. Ensuring a safe and supported journey for all U.S. travelers remains a top priority.

Recent social media posts have speculated on the role of @DHSgov’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) team in Canada. Let’s be clear: HSI operates in close partnership with Canadian law enforcement to combat transnational crime and protect communities on both sides of the border. THREAD ⬇️

Six million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust; millions of others were persecuted and killed by the Nazis and their collaborators. Rising antisemitism, including in the form of Holocaust distortion and denial, make remembrance urgent today. #HolocaustRemembrance
