Population and activity

Nova Scotia's population was estimated at 1,103,419 on July 1, 2026, according to the province's Department of Finance and Treasury Board. The province covers 55,284 square kilometres. In Statistics Canada's health survey for 2015 to 2016, 56.5% of adults in Nova Scotia said they were physically active for at least 150 minutes a week, against 57.7% across Canada. Among young people aged 12 to 17, 63.1% reported an average of 60 minutes of activity a day, against 59.8% in Canada. Statistics Canada gives these provincial figures on its page for the Halifax area.

Parks and trails

Nova Scotia had 136 parks designated under the Provincial Parks Act in November 2025, and the province's Collaborative Protected Areas Strategy sets a goal of protecting 20 per cent of its land and water by 2030. Cape Breton Highlands National Park, established in 1936, covers 950 square kilometres, about 20% of northern Cape Breton, and one third of the Cabot Trail scenic highway runs through it. At Kejimkujik, in southwest Nova Scotia, Parks Canada invites visitors to hike or bike the forest trails and to stargaze in the province's only dark-sky preserve. The Trans Canada Trail, then called The Great Trail, ran for over 1,200 km through Nova Scotia in 2017, in 64 sections cared for by as many trail groups.
