Participants will use Nova Scotia’s open data portal to come up with a unique product (like a website or mobile app) to promote tourism, help immigrants, manage natural resources or protect the environment. The contest runs this coming weekend, with prizes for the best innovations. Learn more and register at data.novascotia.ca.
