South Shore Regional Centre for Education

Located on the southern coast of Nova Scotia, the South Shore Regional Centre for Education (SSRCE) consists of 24 schools and serves a general population of 60,000 people.

The South Shore is well-known for its beautiful white sand beaches and seafaring expertise. Traditionally, sail-powered wooden vessels centered a centuries-old fishing industry. Today, sailing is a common recreational activity. Tourism, forestry, fishing, manufacturing, retail, and financial services are the main economic activities. The "Bluenose," Canada's famed championship schooner and racing ship, was built in 1921 in Lunenburg and can sometimes be found in port when it is not sailing the world.

There are many outdoor activities to enjoy, and the stage is perfectly set with picturesque beauty and serene landscapes. Enjoy an adventurous day surfing at the beach or relax by kayaking one of the many freshwater rivers or lakes.

As with all areas of Nova Scotia, people in the South Shore are known for their friendly nature and natural ability to make you feel at home. Don't be surprised if a stranger starts a conversation with you—the warmth of Nova Scotians shines through.
