The Chambre of Parliament of Nova Scotia is the legislative branch of the government of the Canadian province of the Nova Scotia. It meets in the Province House with Halifax. It contains 52 seats divided among three political principal trainings: the liberal progressist-conservatives, and the néo-democrats.

The Parliament meets in the Province House , a national historical place which are also smallest and the oldest parliamentary building in Canada. It opened its doors on February 11th, 1819. The building was the original seat of the Supreme court of Nova Scotia. Its main entrance is on the street Hollis in Halifax.

The building is richly decorated with, inter alia things, of the British plaster falcons. Several of them are without head since the years 1840. At that time, a deputy of the Room, Lawrence O' Connor Doyle, was completely unchained and broke the head of several of the falcons with blows of duck, by learning that a disagreement between the the United States and the New Brunswick had been decided in favor of American. He had believed that they were eagles.
