Opportunities for Sustainable Prosperity 2006
Opportunities for Sustainable Prosperity 2006 (OfSP) is an updated economic growth strategy for Nova Scotia. OfSP builds on the concepts and actions of the original strategy, released in 2000.

During consultations in communities across the province, business leaders, industry representatives, community leaders, and public servants provided insight on new approaches and opportunities. The experiences of local business, emerging international trends, and some fundamental realities facing the world shaped Opportunities for Sustainable Prosperity. This document outlines the concepts and actions included in the province's renewed economic growth strategy.

The ultimate goal of this strategy is to make Nova Scotia an even better place to live for generations to come. Our progress will be marked by the difference it makes in the lives of Nova Scotians - for the long-term, lasting good of the province.
