Government User Access

These instructions apply only to designated government staff.

Note: If you already have a GNSPES/SEPNE account (for example coming to EECD from a Region/CSAP) and want to keep that account please contact accounts@gnspes.ca.

To create a NEW @gnspes.ca account based on your provincial credentials:
  1. Before attempting to log into GNSPES for the first time, go to this form and follow the steps below to synchronize your government password to your new GNSPES account.
    1. Step 1 - Use your government username and current government password. For example if your email address is fred.mcbent@novascotia.ca, use fred.mcbent. Click Find User to move to Step 2.
      Note: In Steps 2 and 3 a short userid will be displayed. It is very important for you to make note of that short userid.

  2. Once you have successfully synchronized your password, log into your GNSPES account at gnspes.ca. You may want to bookmark this site for future reference as it is the login page.
    1. The first time you log in, your username must be in the following format (it may look odd, and this may be the only time you'll use it):

      short_userid@gov.ns.ca - in this example it will be mcbentfx@gov.ns.ca

    2. Once you have entered your username and password click Login.
    3. As long as your first login was successful, on subsequent logins you can use just the short userid (in this example: mcbentfx) with your password.

    4. If, after following these instructions you require assistance, please contact accounts@gnspes.ca
