Administrative history
In 1946 the Central Nova Scotia Exhibition Commission was incorporated by provincial statute to hold an annual agricultural and industrial exhibition for Colchester County, its headquarters located in Truro. Its name changed to the Nova Scotia Provincial Exhibition Commission in 1957 and its mandate broadened to provide an exhibition for the province of Nova Scotia. Other activities of the commission have included managing the prize list for the provincial exhibition, purchasing property and erecting exhibition buildings, organizing other educational and recreational events on its grounds, and overseeing the Truro Raceway.
