Women’s Centres Connect!
Nova Scotia Association of Women’s Centres
In 1988, the Women’s Centres of Nova Scotia officially formed Women’s Centres CONNECT!
CONNECT! provides a forum for sharing information and resources among women’s centres throughout the province. This consolidation of information, resources and tools ensures both effective and efficient use of program and service resources, including human, financial and material resources.
There are eight community-based women’s centres in Nova Scotia—Sydney, Antigonish, New Glasgow, Truro, Sheet Harbour, Lunenburg, Cornwallis and Yarmouth—offering support and advocacy services to individual women, workshops and programs covering everything from self-esteem and pre-employment skills, to sexual assault support groups and healthy relationships for young people, and young women in particular. Women’s centres play a central role in community development initiatives such as second-stage housing, family violence and sexual assault response teams, anti-poverty and food security efforts, youth groups, women in business events.
