Population Growth and Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia: In a small region like Nova Scotia, dynamic urban centres are essential as critical wellsprings for innovation and growth that can benefit the entire province, the Ivany report argued last February, according to The Chronicle Herald. The challenges facing Nova Scotia outlined by the Ivany report are well known: a weak economy, little population growth, a shrinking workforce and an aging demographic profile. Given its relative importance, Halifax has a key role to play in arresting and reversing the province economic and social decline and Home to more than four in 10 Nova Scotians and generating more than half the province overall GDP and a fifth of Atlantic Canada Halifax clearly fills that role.
