Climate

Nova Scotia has been officially designated “Canada’s warmest Province.”  It lies in the northern temperate zone where the influence of the sea moderates the climate and helps Nova Scotia escape much of the coldest winter weather.  The summers are comfortably warm and the autumns are beautiful.

Culture

Nova Scotia’s culture has deep roots within several “founding cultures” – the Mikmaq First Nation, French, Scottish, English, Irish and African. These were later supplemented by settlers from the United States, and, in recent times, by immigrants from around the world. The result is a fascinating blend of people known for their honesty, enterprise and good nature – qualities that also characterize the Nova Scotia business community.
