Together, we build solutions for the timely advancement of excellence and innovation in nursing homes in Nova Scotia

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 

We acknowledge that the land upon which we gather is in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. This land is governed by the Treaties of Peace and Friendship. We pay our respects to the Indigenous Mi’Kma’ki People who have occupied this land for over 12,000 years; past, present, and future.  We also recognize the 400+ year history of communities of African descent and the 50 African Nova Scotian communities throughout the region today.
