In July of 2012 agreement was made with the Nova Scotia International Tuna Tournament Society (NSITTS) that the Halifax International Tuna Tournament Society (HTTS) would carry on the history and operation of the “Nova Scotia International Tuna Tournament (NSITT)” renamed as the “Halifax Nova Scotia International Tuna Tournament (HNSITT)”.
In recognition of NSITTS’s stellar history the HTTS would like to present the Nova Scotia International Tuna Tournament in a historical context based on the information from their previous website in a series of photo galleries. Throughout the 14 year history (1998 through 2011) of the NSITTS their tournament had raised over $410,000 for the IWK.
