Common questions
The NS listing covers every municipality in the province that publishes a calendar, so a weekend view shows what is running from the largest city to the smallest town in one page rather than one municipal site at a time.
Every municipality in Nova Scotia that publishes an event calendar we can read. The city list on this page is the live set; a town joins it the first time one of its events is crawled.
Times are shown in America/Halifax, the zone the province keeps, and are never converted to a single national clock. Canada spans six time zones, and an event that starts at seven starts at seven where it is.
