Community Visitor Information Centres

Organizations throughout Nova Scotia operate visitor information centres in their communities during the busy tourism months. While Tourism Nova Scotia does not manage these centres, we do provide financial support to eligible centres through our Community VIC Funding Program.

See the list of community VICs. This list is updated each spring.

Reach out to the VICs near you to make sure they have up to date information about your business, including specials, packages, or operational changes for the year.
