The correct warden of this county is Bernard .B.Oots —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikimac01 (talkcontribs) 02:01, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually the correct name of the Warden of Inverness County is Duart MacAulay, which can be easily found by opening the official website of the Municipality of Inverness County which is listed on the article page.Cmr08 (talk) 00:34, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Intro (INCLUDES port hawkesbury not excludes)

[edit]

Should the introduction not say, " almost contiguous with the Municipality of Inverness County but INCLUDES the town of Port Hawkesbury and Miꞌkmaq reserves”

because those entities are part of the county but not the municipality? morsontologica (talk) 07:39, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. --Cornellier (talk) 13:16, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Conflation of census vs. historical vs. municipal

[edit]

This article conflates

  • Inverness County Census division
  • Municipality of the County of Inverness
  • the historical County of Inverness

Either the article should be made clearer or it could be split up as in Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia ("Lunenburg County is an historical county and census division ") and Municipality of the District of Lunenburg ("The Municipality of the District of Lunenburg, is a district municipality") Same also for Cape Breton County and Cape Breton Regional Municipality. --Cornellier (talk) 13:04, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ethnic groups?

[edit]

I noticed that "Canadian" is noted as a distinctive ethnic group... but what does it mean? Also, it says "North American Indian" which is, well, not really the correct term by today's standards - it should either be "indigenous" or "first nations people". Also some things are strange - it is noted "French" and also "Acadian" - what is the distinction made? Where it says French are we talking about immigrants from France? Just Francophones? Same goes with English - are we talking about people from England, or Anglophones? In which case, what's the distinction between English and Canadian? Should the distinction be made between English-Canadian and French-Canadian? The whole Ethnic groups section seems both out of date in its terminology, and very vague.90.138.74.226 (talk) 21:38, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, 90.138.74.226. Good question. You'd have to ask Census Canada about that, and the people who filled in the census. The info you're looking at in the page was basically copy-pasted there by someone from this Statistics Canada page. I believe the ethnicity is self-declared and can be multiple. Apparently there were 0 Americans, but 65 people who claimed to be American plus something else... --Cornellier (talk) 03:54, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
