Founded in 1786 as a benevolent and social society,  The Royal Saint George’s Society of Halifax is not a relic of the past. We may be the first and oldest Saint George’s Society in the British Commonwealth, if not the world,  but  we’re forward thinking and moving ahead.

We celebrate the best of England, and indeed all the British Isles – arts and letters,  common law and parliamentary government, industry, sciences and enterprise – and their relevance and contributions to Canada’s  past, present and future. We may occasionally whistle  Gilbert & Sullivan, and hum The Beatles tunes, quote Kipling and Churchill, read Jane Austin, Shelley and Keats, or dream of bucolic Cotswold country lanes, but we’re Canadians living in the present and looking ahead.

The way we see it, heritage is the “sweet-spot” where the past and present enriches us all.

The Royal Saint George’s Society of Halifax has no political affiliations, is strictly non-sectarian, thrives on diversity, new ideas, friends and members. Everyone is welcome.
