A Proud Heritage

Although I have put down roots in Florida, I often make the pilgrimage home to Nova Scotia with my husband of 17 years We are historians and environmental educators, and found that in so many ways, Florida's story is linked to that of Nova Scotia. We travel to Parsborough and Joggins to comb their fossil cliffs for clues to Florida's ancient geology. We make our way to Lunenburg to study shipbuilding history for links to Florida's age of sail. My heritage dates back to 1758, when my Irish ancestor stepped off a ship in Halifax harbor and made his way to the beautiful Annapolis Valley. It still runs thick in my veins. It is a proud heritage and I would give anything to be able to return to the salt of the earth people and rugged landscape that forged the strong foundation for my life. Thank you for creating this site to share with expatriates like myself.

Charter Members

Rudder Business Advisory Services provides advice to owners of small and medium businesses about starting, growing, and improving their operations.

Access to capital continues to be a challenge for businesses in Nova Scotia, but White is finding greater investor interest in his clients’ businesses. He attributes that to an increase in local venture capital activity, and the capacity of Nova Scotian businesses to go further afield in search of investment.

International business is also helped by the greater number of people who have come here from other parts of the world for work or study, and decided to stay. These people bring their talents and connections, and they’ve chosen to live in and contribute to Nova Scotia.
