Here are the Statistics Canada estimates for July 1 2010 -
http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/91-214-x/2009000/t013-eng.htm . The data indicates that the Halifax Regional Municipality had 403,188 people on July 1 2010. Since it is growing at about 1.5% per year, it is probably up to about 411,000 by now.
The census numbers are always lower than the estimates since the post-census estimates include factors to account for people who are missed in the census counts. So the post-census estimates are considered to be closer to the real population. Also, during the university year, the metro population could be as much as 10,000 more than the population estimates because of all the out of town students (but this is just my guesstimate)
