The Order of NovaScotia is the highest honour of the Province of NovaScotia.
Members of the Order of NovaScotia have distinguished themselves in many fields of endeavour and have brought honour and prestige to themselves and to NovaScotia.
At a formal ceremony, the Lieutenant Governor of NovaScotia, in the name of the Crown, presents each recipient with a medal in the form of a stylized mayflower, the provincial floral emblem, bearing the shield of arms of NovaScotia surmounted by the crown.
NovaScotia was granted a supreme court in 1754 with the appointment of Jonathan Belcher and a Legislative Assembly in 1758.
NovaScotia was the first colony in British North America and in the British Empire to achieve responsible government in January-February 1848 and become self-governing through the efforts of Joseph Howe.
NovaScotia is the seventh most populated province in Canada with an estimated 936,988 residents as of January 1, 2006.
