The Downtown Halifax Business Commission completed an informal survey of major employers like the province, Nova Scotia Power, the city, as well as office landlords. It's a problem Paul MacKinnon, head of the Downtown Halifax Business Commission, said he's been hearing from shops and restaurants for months. It's unclear how many businesses have decided to give up their rental spaces downtown, or are in the process of doing so. Scotia Square and Duke Tower are two major downtown Halifax office towers. The Downtown Halifax Business Commission is also reminding people of the little things that make working downtown so great, like taking a stroll along the waterfront or meeting up with a colleague for coffee.
