"Doing Business with Nova Scotia"

With a focus on building and construction materials and components, metal fabrication, and environmental equipment, technology and services -- especially geared for small and medium-size Louisiana companies.

Nova Scotia, a province on the east coast of Canada, is an established trading partner with the U.S. and has historical ties with a multitude of communities – especially those in the Southern states.

The U.S. is Nova Scotia’s top export destination. In 2004, Nova Scotia exported over $4.5 billion of goods and services to the United States.

Nova Scotia is home to high-quality entrepreneurs that offer top-notch products and services. Products range from straight lumber to windows, and include world-class professional services, such as engineers and architects. Nova Scotia’s export statistics can be found at http://strategis.ic.gc.ca.

Transportation networks also are well established. Sea or land transport options connect buyers in Louisiana with resources shipped from Nova Scotia.

Nova Scotia companies are experienced in rebuilding strategies to combat damages caused by natural disasters. In 2003, Hurricane Juan, one of the strongest hurricanes to impact Canada, struck the province and created serious damage.

Similar to Louisiana, Nova Scotia shares a culture that is shaped by the sea. It has a population of nearly one million that is comprised of hard-working business people who stand behind their products and services. Learn more about Nova Scotia business and facts at www.novascotialife.com.
