Welcome to St. Mary’s

Located in the heart of Nova Scotia’s Eastern Shore, the Municipality of the District of St. Mary’s is a rural municipality consisting of five electoral districts. Incorporated in 1879, the Municipality has a population of 2,233 and is bounded by the counties of Antigonish and Pictou, the municipalities of Halifax and Guysborough, and the Atlantic Ocean.

Along with your emergency plan, you should also have a household emergency kit. This kit will look after you and your family for 72 hours and help you get through an emergency.

It should be easy to locate quickly and carry, everyone should know where it is, and it should be checked twice a year to ensure nothing is expired.

Watch this video to find out what should be in your kit!
