Welcome to Portland Estates and Portland Hills. We are a vibrant, active and diverse community situated in the heart of the Portland Valley in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Starting in the early 1980’s, the community was built in stages by several developers, and now has a population approaching 6,000 people. For more than 20 years PEHRA (our residents’ association) has been very active in Portland Estates and Hills with a common goal to enhance the lives of those who live here.

Booking the Gazebo
The public can use the Gazebo at any time but if someone wishes to plan and host a special event – like a family graduation or birthday gathering – we recommend they “book” the Gazebo with HRM. Please contact Tracy Murphy at HRM (murphyt@halifax.ca) for the permit. Once you have a permit, you can use the Gazebo exclusively for a period of time. Should anyone wish to use it at the same time, you can show them the permit for exclusive use.
OPEN FIRE BURNING
Open fire burning is regulated by the Province and the Halifax Regional Municipality. Before your next fire, check with the NS Burn Safe website and the HRM Website.
