Joint declarations, memorandums of understanding (MOUs), agreements in principle, and other agreements signed or declared by the Premier (or his designate).

This dataset provides the names of individuals who have received the Order of Nova Scotia from 2002 to 2016. The dataset includes the recipient’s name, residence, the date they received their ONS, and position.

Each year the Premier participates in a number of Intergovernmental Forums. These include the Council of the Federation (COF, which is also referred to as “Canada’s Premiers"), the Council of Atlantic Premiers (CAP), and the Maritime Premiers. There are also bi-lateral meetings between Premiers and issue specific meetings (e.g. the Quebec Summit on Climate Change).

The Province of Nova Scotia recognizes the importance of foreign engagement and regularly engages in government to government and government to business relations globally. In order to ensure that effective and positive international government relations are developed and maintained, the Nova Scotia Department of Intergovernmental Affairs has been mandated to foster and promote intergovernmental /international relations globally.

Developing and enhancing meaningful intergovernmental/international relationships is an incremental process. Intergovernmental/international relations can be achieved through a number of primary activities: out-bound trade and business missions; incoming trade and business missions; and Nova Scotia government to foreign government/foreign business promotion. Mission reports are a key accounting of government activity and reflect the various specific events and key follow up activities.
