Industry Entrepreneurs: Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia: No single solution will solve the problem, but building on success would be a start, according to The Chronicle Herald. There is tremendous growth in the wine industry and increasing demand for Nova Scotia wines. Two of Nova Scotias leading wine industry entrepreneurs recently told me they could sell thousands and thousands of cases of Nova Scotia wine. They sell out every year and Atlantic Canadas declining and aging population is a demographic time bomb. The problem is even more acute in the regions rural communities. But a proper immigration strategy could be incredibly important to address the situation and create economic growth and opportunity. In 1997, there were two wineries in Nova Scotia. Today there are over 15, and more are on the way. To put this in perspective, in 1995 there were 19 wineries in the Niagara region of Ontario, and today there are over 130.
