Consists of materials created by the Commission to document its activities in the sports and recreation sector in Nova Scotia between 1983 and 1994. During this time the province hosted the 1987 Canada Winter Games at facilities centred in Cape Breton County and the Commission was heavily involved in the games from bids from across the province to host the games, to site selection of the venues once the host had been identified, to details on the management of the games and the achievements of Nova Scotia Athletes. While not the complete record of the games that might have been kept by the Winter Games committee, the records do contain information on the composition of provincial teams and competition results. Also contains minutes of management and grant committee meetings of the Department of Culture, Recreation and Fitness between 1984 and 1989 and additional materials reflecting the participation of the Department or Commission on relevant national committees of allied and like organizations.
