Nova Scotia has developed an integrated civic addressing system that extends well beyond simple addressing needs. It is now used by multiple government departments and other stakeholders that require address information, and the road network database is integrated into provincial and federal mapping programs. This approach stems from the provincial GeoNova program that strives to collect data as close to the source as possible, and share with as wide an audience as possible.
