Nova Scotia
Nova Scotia's 580-kilometre-long
peninsula is surrounded by four bodies of water - the Atlantic
Ocean, the Bay of Fundy, the Northumberland Strait and the Gulf of
St. Lawrence. Its geographic location, together with large,
ice-free, deep-water harbours, has been a key factor in the
province's economic development.
With an area of 55 491 km2, Nova Scotia is larger than Denmark,
although somewhat smaller than Scotland, after which it is named.
Nova Scotia is a mosaic of rugged headlands, tranquil harbours and
ocean beaches.
The People
Nearly one-quarter of Nova
Scotia's population of approximately
934,405
report the British Isles as their place of ethnic origin.
Significant portions of the population also report either French or
European origins. Many residents of Nova Scotia are of German,
Dutch, Polish, Italian, Jewish and Lebanese descent. After the War
of 1812, several thousand Black people, including the Chesapeake
Blacks, settled in the Halifax area. More recent immigrants to Nova
Scotia have included Chinese, Indo-Chinese, African, Asian and
eastern European groups.
The Economy
Nova Scotia's
economy is highly diversified, having evolved from resource-based
employment to include many types of manufactured goods as well as
business and personal services. The resources sector started with
the sea and the teeming fish of the Scotian Shelf.
