Nova Scotia, located on Canada's southeastern coast, is Canada's second smallest province encompassing approximately 55,284 sq. km. or 21,345 sq. mi. and is almost an island, connected to the remainder of the country only by the Isthmus of Chignecto. 

Nova Scotia's total population is just shy of one million with about forty percent of the people living within the Halifax Regional Municipality leaving lots of open space throughout the province for those who prefer the 'country life'.

Lying about halfway between the Equator and the North Pole Nova Scotia enjoys a moderate climate and milder winters than most of Canada due to the effects of the Gulf Stream. Nova Scotia is Canada's warmest province. Summers are cooler along the coast and warmer inland. Nova Scotia has over 7000 kilometers of coastline including spectacular beaches and rugged cliffs ever changing with the ebb and flow of the Atlantic Ocean. From the magnificent coastlines to the beautiful inland lakes and rolling farmlands Nova Scotia is an outdoor playground for those who enjoy sailing, golfing, hunting, fishing, hiking, horseback riding or  site seeing. In Nova Scotia you enjoy an easy-going, low-stress lifestyle and you are never more than 30 minutes from the ocean !
