On Labour Day, we applaud the tireless efforts of women who balance both paid and unpaid work. We recognize the challenges they face, including biases and we stand united in the fight for equal pay, fair treatment and opportunities for all.💜

Women bring talent, skills and approaches to problem solving that drive innovation.

Happy Labour Day Women!💪

We see you, we value you! Our team is off today refreshing and taking some well deserved time to ourselves. We will be back Tuesday September 2nd and look forward to seeing you then. If you need support while we are away call 211, a 24/7 Women’s Helpline.

Gender equality is essential to creating the future we want to see. Our goal is to ensure that all young people—regardless of gender—have equal opportunities, access to education, and the freedom to be their authentic selves without the limits of societal norms. We’re committed to providing safe spaces for growth and learning through programs like our Girls and Gender-Diverse Youth Empowerment Camp, Consent Workshops, and more—helping to nurture confident and empowered youth. Together, we can lay the groundwork for a future built on equality, compassion, and inclusivity. 💜 💛

Nova Scotians with personal, professional or community-based experience in addressing gender-based violence can apply to join the new Ministers’ table on gender-based violence.

Led by Becky Druhan, Attorney General and Minister of Justice, and Leah Martin, Minister responsible for the Advisory Council on the Status of Women, the table will bring together up to 25 community members to advise the government on approaches to prevent gender-based violence and support people affected.

The table is part of the Province’s broader response to gender-based and intimate partner violence. It will meet at least four times a year and reflects a government-wide whole-of-society approach to prevention and response.

The table will work with representatives from L’nu Affairs, African Nova Scotian Affairs, the Office of Equity and Anti-Racism, the Office of Addictions and Mental Health, and the departments of Opportunities and Social Development, Health and Wellness, and Education and Early Childhood Development.

✨ Because I am a girl… ✨
Just like at our first empowerment camp, youth at last week’s Pictou Girls & Gender Diverse Empowerment Camp took part in a powerful activity inspired by Because I Am a Girl, I Can Change the World. 💬🌍

Together, we reflected on what it means to be a girl—not just here, but around the world. Some campers even shared personal stories, showing incredible empathy, strength, and insight. 💜

Our poster filled up fast with affirmations that reflect how bold, thoughtful, and creative our campers are.
