Why Use RSS?

RSS—which means Rich Site Summary, RDF Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication, depending whom you ask—allows you to:

Collect headlines and other content from websites directly to your desktop.
Choose how often you receive updates. Customize your news reader to check the news feed every five minutes or once per hour, whatever suits you best.
Receive less SPAM. Because RSS requires you to download a news reader, you aren't subscribing to e-mail lists, which means you decrease the risk of unwanted e-mail.

Government News Made Easy

No searching for updates on the provincial website. The Government of Nova Scotia news feeds provide the latest news releases and advisories from Communications Nova Scotia, government's full-service communications agency.

You receive an advisory that includes the date, a headline, a summary and a weblink for each item, right on your desktop. If you want to see the full text, simply click on the weblink.

Choose the news feeds you receive. Receive all news releases and advisories issued by Communications Nova Scotia or receive only traffic advisories prepared by the Department of Transportation and Public Works.
