What kind of thing

Common questions

What is on in Nova Scotia this weekend?

The NS listing covers every municipality in the province that publishes a calendar, so a weekend view shows what is running from the largest city to the smallest town in one page rather than one municipal site at a time.

Which Nova Scotia towns and cities are covered?

Every municipality in Nova Scotia that publishes an event calendar we can read. The city list on this page is the live set; a town joins it the first time one of its events is crawled.

What time zone are Nova Scotia event times in?

Times are shown in America/Halifax, the zone the province keeps, and are never converted to a single national clock. Canada spans six time zones, and an event that starts at seven starts at seven where it is.
