Known as “Canada’s warmest province,” Nova Scotia boasts a moderate climate thanks to its maritime influence. Winters are milder, summers are comfortably warm, and autumns are beautifully vibrant. For current weather updates, click here.
Nova Scotia is a melting pot of cultures, with roots in the Mi’kmaq First Nation, French, Scottish, English, Irish, and African communities. This rich tapestry is enriched by settlers from the United States and recent global immigrants, creating a unique blend of traditions and values that define the region’s friendly and industrious spirit.
The local currency is the Canadian Dollar, making it convenient for travelers and businesses alike.
Did you know one of Nova Scotia’s most fascinating historical artefacts is hidden right beneath your feet? At Fort Anne in Annapolis Royal, a wooden cross dating back to the late 1600s lies entombed beneath the earth — quietly connecting Acadian, Mi’kmaq, and British history in one remarkable place. It’s a powerful reminder that some of our most meaningful stories aren’t always the most obvious ones. This is the kind of discovery that makes exploring Nova Scotia so special — and exactly why COANS is proud to promote the places, stories, and regions that make our province worth exploring, season after season. 📖 Read the full story here: https://campingnovascotia.com/blog/ Whether you’re planning a summer camping trip or just love learning more about Nova Scotia’s past, our website and blog posts are always worth the read. #CampingNovaScotia #ExploreNS #NovaScotiaHistory #HiddenHistory #COANS
