halifax is in the great province of nova scotia which is actually v e1 land.
for everyones reference:
V E1/V A1 nova scotia
V O1 newfoundland
V Y1 Yukon territory
V E2/V A2 quebec
V O2 Labrador (part of newfoundland labrador)
V Y2 prince edward Island (P.E.I)
V E3/V A3 ontario
V E4/V A4 manatoba
V E5/V A5 saskachiwan
V E6/V A6 alberta
V E7/V A7 British Columbia
V E8 North West Territories or NWT
VE9/V A9 New Brunswick
V Y0 Nunavut territory

There are also some other two letter prefixes which are used for special
events in canada, which always include the number designation for your
province or territory.
Unlike the US, you can only hold a call sign from the province or territory
where you reside. When mobile you may indicate your area by adding a slash
and the number of the area you are in after your call sign, but this isn't
actually required by the regs.
Canadian call signs are always 2x2 or 2x3.
You can have either a V E or V A, (and of course V O where it applies) in
each province...this last is because they have run out of V E prefixes in
allot of places.
Again, there are special event call signs that may occasionally be a 2x1 or
2x4 format, but very rarely.
Here is a good reference URL for canadian prefixes:
