Nova Scotia Government's Open Data Portal
Making government data easier to access for individuals, businesses, and researchers
Message from the Premier
Nova Scotia is proud to be part of the open data movement by continuing to make data available to anyone. Together we can use data to help grow our economy, improve the lives of those around us, and create a better Nova Scotia.
Featured Datasets: Office of Service Nova Scotia
The Office of Service Nova Scotia delivers a wide-range of programs and services to Nova Scotians. The Office has made a variety of datasets available on the portal including baby names, licenced mortgage brokers, vital statistics, and many more.
