About Pictou County Partnership

Pictou Landing First Nation, Municipality of the County of Pictou, and the Towns of New Glasgow, Pictou, Stellarton, Trenton, and Westville signed an Intermunicipal Agreement where they agreed to partner and to promote economic growth in Pictou County by creating a regional enterprise network (“REN”).

The Pictou County Partnership was registered under the Municipal Government Act as “The Pictou County Regional Enterprise Network”.

The Pictou County Regional Enterprise Network entered into an agreement with the Province of Nova Scotia.

Its first CEO and staff team were hired.

Its first regional strategy was developed.

Its name was changed to the Pictou County Partnership, to recognize the “partnership” effort required to create the conditions and environment for growth and success leading to a more prosperous home for all, now and for generations to come.

Its programs expanded from business and entrepreneur supports, and community integration and immigration to include support to the community impact sector and the groundwork for investment attraction. The community impact sector expansion was made possible through a 5-year gift from The Sobey Foundation.
