Geologically it is a breccia. Cant tell if the white is quartz or calcite. if you can scratch the white with a knife then not quartz. The other rock i can't tell from the image. Too many options.

It's freakin' cool! That's what it is!
If this was found on the beach, then it's been tumbling "naturally" for awhile. There doesn't seem to be any undercutting in either the white or the brecciated material...which makes this wicked awesome!

Thanks for the response. It doesn’t scratch with a knife so will assume quartz. The white does really look like quartz but I have no idea what the other material is mixed in with it.

It has the look of beach dallasite, but from wrong coast (almost 6000 km apart). I am not aware of it being found in NS nor anything else that looks like it there.

My parents have been to both coasts so very likely that it could have been picked up in BC and just put into a bag at home. They are not avid rock hounds at all. Probably just picked up because it looked interesting.
