Same Great Programs, ONE Great Name!

Easter Seals Nova Scotia is a local charity whose programs and services enhance the health, mobility, and independence of Nova Scotians with physical disabilities.

During its 78 year history, the name of our organization has changed a number of times. Since 1985, Easter Seals Nova Scotia has also been known to many as the Abilities Foundation of Nova Scotia.

While this name has served our cause well, we have decided to relinquish this dual identity for the purpose of strengthening our message in the community. From now on, we will assume one public identity – Easter Seals Nova Scotia – a name with worldwide recognition and long history of supporting people with physical disabilities in our communities.

Our aim at Easter Seals Nova Scotia stays as it always has, to create high quality programs and services for Nova Scotians with physical disabilities in areas of

Active Living - Camp Tidnish and Take PART therapeutic recreation programs
Family and Community Support – New Leaf Enterprises, Community Outreach, Polio Support network, and resource sharing
Assistive Devices - Wheelchair Recycling Program and financial assistance for personal equipment.

Explore our new site for more information about these opportunities, our fundraising events, and ways that you can contribute.
