Tourism Nova Scotia is dedicated to advancing equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility (EDIA) in Nova Scotia. We encourage and prioritize applications from underrepresented businesses and attractions, as well as those that offer tourism activities that amplify and reflect underrepresented communities, experiences and voices. For example, preference will be given to applications from Mi’kmaw and African Nova Scotian businesses and attractions.
