The Mace of the Province of Nova Scotia is an ornamental ceremonial staff which serves as a symbol of authority in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly. The mace is constructed of gilded sterling silver, and was gifted to the House by Chief Justice Robert Harris in March 1930. The Nova Scotia House of Assembly had ordered a mace to be procured as early as 1785, but these orders were not carried out, making the mace gifted by Harris the first to be used in the House.
