I just replied to your private message, but I'll mention this here as well, just in case anyone else is interested. At minimum you need an analog trunking scanner. If you want to listen to police (Halifax police or RCMP) you need a digital scanner, as they both use digital. Rumour is the provincial system will change over to the new 700MHz band in a couple of years time... so you might want to make sure whatever you get will do 700MHz trunking if you want to be future proofed.
