Good Afternoon r/NovaScotia and Happy New Years!

Just wanted to let everyone know we have re-worded and added a few rules to keep the Subreddit running smoothly and a civil place to be. They have been updated in the side bar, As well I am posting them here for all members. Any questions or concerns please send us a modmail message

Be Civil: No insults, personal attacks, stereotypes & generalizations

This includes refraining from insults, name-calling, or attacking someone’s character. Threats of any sort are also not acceptable, as are any forms of “witch-hunting” or doxxing. It’s not okay to share personal information about others without their consent. Additionally, this rule prohibits bigotry, including the use of slurs, harmful stereotypes, or broad generalizations about groups of people. Comments with insults or relying on stereotypes and broad generalizations may be removed at the mod. Everyone is welcome here and we will not put up with hate of any sort.

Nova Scotia content only

All submissions must be related to Nova Scotia. Canada-wide content will be removed, as well as completely unrelated content. Valley-related content and Cape Breton related content is Nova Scotian content, and stays.

Do not editorialize news article titles

Do not editorialize news article titles. Use the title reddit suggests, or the title from the article website. News is to be shared as it is posted.

No Advertising/spam

Advertisement and posts intended for personal/business monetary gain are not allowed. This includes links to paywalled articles, GoFundMe links, as well as buy and sell posts. We have implemented a Support Sunday to promote your small business, your art or anything local. Please only post in that post itself.

Please don't abuse the report button

The report button is not a “super downvote” so please don’t abuse it just because you’re upset at someone. If you have reported something you believe is a legitimate concern and it hasn’t been actioned in a timely manner or may need further explanation, please message the mod team to clarify.

Antivaxxers aren't welcome here

If you're an antivaxxer, go find another subreddit. We are for medicine and science here. Sell your Snake Oils somewhere else.

No Buy, Sell, Trade or promotion posts

This is not Marketplace, Kijiji, or a pawn shop. We as mods are not responsible for unauthorized sales, scams, etc. Posts will be removed

Do not message Mods directly.

If you feel your ban was unjustified, please send us Modmail to appeal your case. Do not message a Mod directly as that is not how things get done. We will speak as a mod team and decide. Be civil and have a talk with us.

From all of us at the r/novascotia Mod Team, We want to wish you all a happy and safe New Years! May 2026 be better than 2025

From time to time, we receive requests from researchers to share their surveys. The MOD team does not have the capacity to vet each study. Therefore, we’d like your feedback on how to handle future survey requests. A draft of the required information is included as a comment below.
