Help Us Tell the Whole Story
“I am a big fan of Engage Nova Scotia’s work with their Quality of Life Survey! The Team at Engage have created a treasure trove of data that tells the story about how Nova Scotians experience life in our communities.”
— Jeffrey Gushue, MBA, RPA, Chief Administrative Officer, Town of Yarmouth (April 8, 2025)

“They’ve taken the lived experiences of everyday Nova Scotians and created tools for policy makers and service providers to learn more about our own communities. The impact of seeing the data presented through their analysis tools is jaw-dropping. It’s one thing to hear statistics in the news, but to hear the stories of people in our own communities through their own responses to the survey is tremendously impactful.
We’ve been through a lot since 2019. The prospect of a deeper, richer pool of data from 2025, with the opportunity to see where quality of life has changed, makes me both excited and nervous.”
