A geographic shape file of Nova Scotia’s Functional Economic Regions. The most widely accepted approach to identifying functional economic regions is based on self-contained labour areas (SLAs) - a group of two or more Census Subdivisions (CSDs) where at least 75% of the workers both live and work in the area. Using Census data, Statistics Canada has identified Census Subdivisions (CSDs) that can be grouped together into SLAs based on daily commuting flows. Department of Business has mapped these areas and created a GIS shape file that is intended to represent Nova Scotia’s functional economic regions.

Owners/operators/hosts of short-term rental accommodations (rented for 28 days or less) must register, beginning April 1, 2020, under the Tourist Accommodations and Registration Act. The registry allows government to capture data around the supply and location of rental accommodations, and "level the playing field" for all short-term accommodations operators.
