History
The Provincial Exhibition Commission was incorporated in 1896 to provide an annual agricultural and industrial exhibition in Halifax for the province of Nova Scotia. The commission replaced the Halifax Exhibition Commission, incorporated in 1894, which went out of business. The new commission was instituted under the joint auspices of the provincial government and the City of Halifax. By 1937 it was known as the Nova Scotia Provincial Exhibition Commission. In addition to arranging the annual exhibition, other activities of the commission included managing the prize list for the exhibition, purchasing property and erecting buildings for its exhibitions, and organizing other recreational and educational events on its grounds. The commission was disbanded by the early 1940s.
