How do I Find an Address in Nova Scotia?

A mill in Sherbrook, Nova Scotia.

Nova Scotia has a population of slightly less than a million people, making it one of the smaller of the Canadian provinces. Still, it's a bit too sizable to go searching door to door if you're looking for a Nova Scotia address. Unlike its public-records intense neighbor to the south, Canada does not have many people-finder resources, but you can use the few good tools available to help find an address for a person or business in Nova Scotia.

Instructions

1. Check the white pages at Canada411.ca to find people. Enter the person's name, and enter "Nova Scotia" as the "Location."

   Use the Yellow Pages section to search for Nova Scotia businesses.

2. Search at Jigsaw.com to find an address of a person's workplace in Nova Scotia. Jigsaw is a large business contacts database. Enter the person's name, select "Canada" as the "Country" and select "Nova Scotia" in the "State" box.

   You can retrieve preliminary information at Jigsaw at no charge, but there is a fee to get the full listing.

3. Search at Reference Canada. This is a very large data set of people and businesses across Canada that is available at some libraries. Check your local library to see if Reference Canada is available in-house or if it can arrange access through an interlibrary loan.
