The PAOC Maritime District welcomes you to Halifax, Nova Scotia! 

Join us on Monday, May 4, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. for our PAOC Family Welcome Reception hosted by our Maritime District at the historic Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21, located at 1055 Marginal Road, Halifax, NS. Light hors d’oeuvres and refreshments will be served.  

Since opening in 1928, Pier 21 has stood as a national symbol of new beginnings and "what could be" - welcoming nearly one million immigrants to Canada between 1928 and 1971. Overlooking Halifax Harbour, the museum stands as a powerful tribute to those stories, celebrating Canada’s diverse heritage and spirit of welcome. We would love to have you join us at this memorable setting as we gather to begin our time together in fellowship and shared purpose.  

During the evening, take time to explore exhibits, enjoy stunning waterfront views, and even research your own family’s immigration records through the museum’s archives. Learn more about Pier 21 and plan your visit at www.pier21.ca.
