What’s Your Story?

Engage Nova Scotia has launched the 2026 Quality of Life Survey.

Think about how much has changed in your life and in your community since 2019. It’s been seven years since the last Nova Scotia Quality of Life Survey, the largest of its kind in Canada, and so much has shifted in our lives since then.

Invitations to participate in the Nova Scotia Quality of Life Survey will arrive in your mailbox starting February 23rd.

This is an opportunity to have your story heard on the issues and things you care about most, because when we choose to tell our stories, our experiences can shape decisions that make life better for us all.
