Update to Court Operations at Devonshire Courthouse
Following flooding and water damage, remediation work at the Devonshire courthouse (3380 Devonshire Ave., Halifax) continues. Effective August 7, 2026, in-person matters will recommence.

During ongoing remediation work, the Court Administration Office is continuing to accept filings; however, the documents counter is temporarily relocated to the main floor of the courthouse. Similarly, the front counter for the Family Law Information Program (FLIP) is temporarily relocated on the main floor. Other family law programming, including conciliation and alternative dispute resolution, will proceed by telephone. Further updates will be provided.

The Courthouses in Port Hawkesbury

There is also a satellite courthouse in Wagmatcook First Nation where the Provincial Court sits once a week, and the Supreme Court (Family Division), as needed. This courthouse serves residents from Wagmatcook and We’koqma’q First Nations, as well as Victoria County.
