Counties in Nova Scotia exist for legal purposes at a Provincial level, so it is inappropriate to merge these items. Reduce duplication, sure, but not merge. WayeMason 02:49, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
See the Weekly Traffic Advisories from the Department of Transportation and Public Works [1] , they do not refer Cape Breton RM nor Halifax RM nor Queens RM as counties but as a Regional Municipality.
Is it appropriate to say that "Halifax County WAS a county...", or "Halifax County IS a county..."? Clearly, there is no longer any independent municipal government at the County level, so it is true to say that the Municipality of the County of Halifax no longer exists. However, the County itself still exists as a legally recognized place name, and its borders are not identical with the borders of HRM, because HC encompasses several Indian Reserves that are not technically part of HRM.
The Queens County, Nova Scotia article still uses the present tense, even though the Municipality of the County of Queens was merged with the incorporated town of Liverpool to form the Region of Queens Municipality. Goosnarrggh ( talk) 22:35, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
Though I guess never included in the municipal county, what were the names (and types) of the divisions it surrounded as it relates to any incorporated towns or municipal districts? I'd imagine one was called Halifax, but what were the others? Seems like they'd at least deserve a mention by name, here. -- Criticalthinker ( talk) 20:41, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
