Thar's about 30 km to travel to downtown Halifax.

Your options; see:

The Airporter is the most used and riable means of transportations; but it probably has no stop at the IWK (I guess the Lord Nelson Hotel might be the closest stop on the route, ask the driver).
So, either walk the last stretch or take a local Metro Transit Halifax bus;
see: http://www.halifax.ca/metrotransit/

Halifax local Busses 3, 7, 10, 17 & 18 come close:

A taxi will cost you $55 while the airporter shuttle leaving the airport every hour is $20 and takes about 45-60 mins to get to the Lord Nelson from where it is a very short walk (just ask the driver for directions) It is much quicker to walk, less than 10 minutes or a brisk 5 minutes, than it is to try and take a bus.

Agree with the above replies. The Airporter to the Lord Nelson hotel. the IWK is about a 10 or 15 minute walk from there.
