Nova Scotia Quality of Life Survey

Published: Monday, 23 February 2026 10:24

Starting February 23, Nova Scotians will be invited to participate in the Nova Scotia Quality of Life Survey — the largest undertaking of its kind in Canada.

Participants who receive an invitation will be directed to complete the survey online. The survey takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes to complete. While we recognize this is a significant time commitment, the information gathered will help build a deeper understanding of wellbeing across our province.

We also acknowledge that not everyone has a household address or access to a computer. Specific outreach will take place to ensure those who do not live in homes are included, and efforts will be made to meet people where they are. The goal is to make the survey as accessible and inclusive as possible.

To protect participants’ privacy, the survey is completely voluntary and anonymous. No identifying information, such as names or addresses, is collected.
