Where to find us:

A large beige multi-story office building with retail stores at the ground level, including a Starbucks and Walker Medical Clinic, on a city street corner under a blue sky with clouds, with trees, streetlights, and traffic signals nearby.

Halifax Professional Centre (HPC)

5991 Spring Garden Road, Suite 575 & 396

Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3H 1Y6

As the HPC is a medical building, masks are recommended.

Our Behaviour Intervention Team can be found on the 3rd floor in suite 396. After exiting the elevator, turn right; the office is a short walk down the hallway on the right-hand side.

Parking:

Paid Parking is available in the building’s parking garage. Take the North elevators up to our offices.

Alternatively there is ample street parking around the HPC - including both paid (HotSpot) and unpaid hourly parking.
