My Nova Scotia Contest

Thank you Nova Scotia for sharing your hospitality and warmth in the My Nova Scotia Contest!

We asked Nova Scotians to tell us what they love most about the province they call home for the chance to star in one of our television commercials, and they responded in a big way! The My Nova Scotia Contest is now closed but, it was a resounding success. We received nearly 400 audition videos and selected 21 winners in all. We heard about favourite beaches, festivals, cuisine, music and all sorts of things that make Nova Scotia unique. Winners’ commercials have already started airing and will run throughout the summer. See the winners’ spots below.

Yurt Backcountry Camping at Kejimkujik National Park
The big camping experience last winter was spending a night in a yurt at kejimkujik national park. The only problem was finding an open weekend to book one of the two Yurts at the park. With time running out, we booked a single overnight in late March at the Eel Weir Yurt.
