Nova Scotia at a Turning Point: Why Fire Safety Matters More Than Ever

From Halifax’s expanding skyline to Cape Breton’s resilient communities, Nova Scotia is undergoing transformation driven by construction, manufacturing, energy, and urbanization. But with that growth comes increased fire risk—especially in light of the devastating 2023 wildfires that displaced thousands and exposed critical gaps in preparedness.
