Did you know that Nova Scotia has a great APP, which is easy to use and very informative?

Let's work together to promote events and add photo's of our area so that those who are traveling to NS and do not know the area very well will want to come for a visit! This APP will also help inform us all the events, news and traveling information that me need to get around in this beautiful province. It is also a must have for all those Nova Scotian's who live outside of NS and want to stay updated with current events and those who want to see beautiful photos of home.

Our 2013 Chester and Area Map and Directory is available.

If you have business brochures or event posters, please drop them off at our Visitor Information Centre.

We are pleased to have Janet Manktelow return this year as our VIC Manager. She will be working with the Chester Municipal Chamber of Commerce summer co-op student Amanda Fancy.
