THE PAYOFF

Why Halifax is Great for Team Building

The practical reasons Halifax works when you need to get a team together.

Request a Quote
  1. Easy to Get Everyone There

    Downtown Halifax is compact and walkable, the kind of core where a team can move between meetings and venues on foot.

  2. Works Any Season

    The Convention Centre’s 120,000 square feet covers any weather indoors, and Point Pleasant Park or the Public Gardens open things up outdoors whenever your team wants to be outside.

  3. Venues for Any Group Size

    Space here scales from a small meeting room to the Halifax Marriott Harbourfront’s Nova Scotia Ballroom, which holds up to 900. Halifax has room for groups of any size.

  4. A Downtown You Can Move Through

    The Halifax Common and the walkable downtown core give a scavenger hunt or city challenge real ground to cover, right outside the venue door.

  5. Somewhere to Celebrate After

    Halifax’s North End has become one of the city’s trendiest areas, with breweries and arts venues ready once the event wraps for the day.

Customer Success Stories & Team Building Case Studies

Real results from real teams. Here is how Outback has helped companies build stronger cultures.

Finance 50+ people Virtual

BMO Bank of Montreal

BMO brought more than 50 employees together for a virtual event to reconnect a team that had grown distant. People were hesitant at first, but the format broke the ice fast and pulled everyone in. By the end, coworkers who rarely spoke were laughing and working together, and leadership had nothing but good things to say.

Technology Distributed team Virtual

Cisco

Cisco wanted to build real connection across a large team spread over several time zones. We ran a fully hosted virtual escape room that gave everyone a shared problem to solve. The energy was there right away, with people working the puzzle and celebrating together instead of feeling like a screen full of strangers.

Retail Company-wide In-Person

Loblaws

Loblaws wanted team building that would also give back. Through an Outback Cares charity event, employees worked side by side to assemble donations and raised $18,000 for a local cause. Morale went up as teams worked toward something that mattered, and the company made a real impact in the community.

Impressive and Inspiring!

Our team thoroughly enjoyed participating in both the Team Pursuit 2.0 and the Clue Murder Mystery activities. It was particularly gratifying to witness members from different teams—many meeting for the first time—come together and truly collaborate to tackle the challenges presented. The level of teamwork and communication required was impressive and inspiring.

Our team would highly recommend Outback Team Building & Training to any group seeking to enhance their collaborative experience.
