The Canadian Council on Social Development has added another consortium to the Community Data Program! The Nova Scotia Community Data Consortium will be led by the Province of Nova Scotia's Department of Labour and Advanced Education, which works to provide fairness, safety and prosperity for all Nova Scotians by helping them live, learn and work to their highest potential.

This consortium represents communities with a population over 923,000 and brings the total population represented by the CDP's 33 consortia to 21.3 million or about 60% of all Canadians.
