'Centre' when part of a place name (the "Halifax Shopping Centre" mall, for example), 'center' for every other situation ("center field" or "center of town"), as far as normal usage goes. At least here in the Maritimes. Maybe it's different in Quebec and the west. *shrug* Either way, it's certainly not worth making a fuss over.
