Central Nova is a federal electoral district in Nova Scotia,Canada that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1968 until 1996. In 1996,Antigonish County and part of Guysborough County were placed with Pictou County in a new electoral boundaries configuration to form the electoral district of Pictou-Antigonish-Guysborough. A new version of Central Nova was established in 2003 and —in conjunction with the Pictou-Antigonish-Guysborough iteration —represented a significant electoral boundaries change with specific reference to Antigonish County. Between 1867 and 1997,Antigonish County was not in a riding that included Pictou County;rather,it comprised either its own electoral district (Antigonish),or part of other districts shared with Eastern Nova Scotia (Antigonish-Guysborough) and Cape Breton Island communities. In 2013,part of Antigonish County was "placed back" with communities in the electoral district of Cape Breton Canso,a riding which had emerged in part from the former Cape Breton Highlands Canso riding in 1996. The current version of Central Nova includes Pictou County,parts of Antigonish and Guysborough Counties and extends into Halifax Regional Municipality.
