The Nova Scotia government announced plans to seek feedback from the public on 20 public organizations operating in various sectors.
The province has launched an online survey that will allow residents to offer their opinions on various provincial entities. The survey asks about the powers, duties, roles and responsibilities, accountability, oversight and governance, structure and programs of agencies, boards, and Crown corporations.
“We want to ensure that our government agencies, boards and Crowns are effective, efficient and accountable in meeting the needs of the Nova Scotians they serve,” said Premier Tim Houston. “We are asking Nova Scotians to share their experiences and ideas about what is working well and what we can do better.”
The entities selected for review include;
- Art Gallery of Nova Scotia
- Arts Nova Scotia
- Creative Nova Scotia Leadership Council
- Develop Nova Scotia
- Halifax-Dartmouth Bridge Commission
- Harbourside Commercial Park Inc.
- Innovacorp
- Invest Nova Scotia Board

The survey will remain open until February 15 and is available through the governments’ website.
