Our Mission

At Halifax Mermaids, we acknowledge the extensive research that highlights the benefits of play and imagination on overall well-being and success. Play-based activities that stimulate the imagination promote healthy development, build resilience, establish positive habits, improve fitness, and enhance performance in school and work.

Our goal is to provide imaginative, play-filled experiences through our performances and public outreach efforts. We believe it is crucial for individuals of all ages to actively engage with their imagination.

The arts have a long-standing reputation for being a source of inspiration for people. They inspire change, growth, love, and creativity. Our performances and outreach programs aim to inspire others to live a life they can be proud of, as we only have one life to live.

Many of our performers have faced challenges and transformed their experiences into their art. By creating something meaningful out of difficult situations, they give purpose to their struggles.

Founding Mermaid Entrepreneur Hannah Fraser defines the term "mermaid" as follows:

"Maid" meaning servant and "Mer" meaning of the sea. Therefore, as mermaids, we serve the sea. Our performances and characters allow us to effectively educate others in a memorable way. Our ocean outreach programs and assistance to clients in delivering their messages ensure that the impact of a mermaid is long-lasting and unforgettable.
