Nova Scotia Historic Places Initiative
Historic places, such as buildings, cemeteries, parks and bridges, surround us and
shape our landscape. They give us a sense of place. Without them, we would lose
part of our identity - a tie to those who have gone before us. The Nova Scotia
Historic Places Initiative (NSHPI) was established in 2003 to promote the protection
of Nova Scotia's historic places. Through training, support and the searchable
Register of Historic Places
,
the
NSHPI
invites
you
to
help
us
share
our
significant
past
to
help
shape
our
future.
