Submit A Space

Help us build a directory of free, non-partisan community spaces in Halifax & Dartmouth.

How do you choose to connect?

You want to meet people. You want to connect with your community.

You're looking for Third Spaces near you.

Maybe with people who share your niche interests, or play the same sport you love. Maybe you want to find an organization to volunteer at, or organize a self-care event. Maybe you turn a hobby into a weekly hobby meet-up with people who share that same passion. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, we’re excited to see it bloom. Submit your Third Spaces below.

Our goal is to lower the barriers to community connection through our map and digital resource that allows you to see Third Spaces and events going on in your neighbourhood and locally.

Note: These listings are community-submitted and do not reflect official endorsements by HD3rd or RISE.
