TIANS applauds the recent Earth Day announcement by the Nova Scotia government to designate 61 additional wilderness areas, provincial parks, and nature reserves around the province.

“One of greatest assets for the Tourism Industry is our natural product and strategic protection of the areas identified will help ensure Nova Scotia remains a pristine and sought-after destination,” says TIANS President, Darlene Grant Fiander.  “This is an important step by government towards completing the Protected Areas Network and now more than ever our environmental priorities should be aligned with our economic opportunities.”
