History
The Nova Scotia Sport and Recreation Commission was created in 1987 following the disbanding of the Department of Culture, Recreation and Fitness. Its mandate and existence was formalized by amendments to the Public Service Act in 1988 which outlined its purpose as to "enhance the quality of life of Nova Scotians through the development, encouragement, establishment, co-ordinations, implementation and promotion of sport and recreation programs and services." Although nominally a commission the agency was headed by an Executive Director who reported to an assigned minister and the Commission's staff were public servants. The Commission also co-ordinated the activities of a number of sport and recreation sector organizations some of which were granted various forms of funding by the Commission. The Commission also funded facilities and activities through a variety of programs. The Commission’s activities were folded into the Office of Health Promotion and Protection when it was created in 2002.
