Nova Scotia Report and Crisis

crisis: Timely, insightful, and provocative, the One Nova Scotia Report: Now or Never, An Urgent Call to Action, paints a provincial picture of crisis and opportunity, according to The Chronicle Herald. With undiversified local markets, the emergent geriatrics tsunami, a retiring farmer population, the brain drain westward, the regions inability to absorb unanticipated global market pressures or anticipated climate impacts, bankrupt small and medium-sized enterprises SMEs and towns dropping like flies, we are in trouble right now and The crisis: We reside in the Annapolis Valley.
