Background
Sheet Harbour is a rural community in Nova Scotia, Canada.

The community is located along the Marine Drive scenic route on Trunk 7 at its junctions with Route 224 and Route 374. Surrounding the branched harbour which its name is derived from, the community has a population of about 800 and its respective census tract, containing sizable amounts of land around the community, has a population of 3,478 as of the 2011 Census. Two rivers, West River and East River, flow through the community and into the Northwest and Northeast Arms of the harbour respectively.

The region has a humid continental climate, congruent with the majority of Nova Scotia, and the ocean significantly influences the temperature.
