Progress on Nova Scotia’s Human Rights Remedy
Inclusion Nova Scotia welcomes the progress reported in the third annual update on Nova Scotia’s Human Rights Remedy. Important work is underway, including expanded allied health supports, continued implementation of individualized funding and local area coordination, and efforts to end institutional models of support.
The Remedy is about more than changing one program. It is about making sure people with disabilities can live ordinary lives in their communities, with the same rights, opportunities, relationships, and expectations as everyone else.
Progress is meaningful, but important work remains. People with disabilities and families need clear information, practical support, and reliable pathways as systems change. Particular attention is needed for people moving from existing services, young people leaving school, and people who may be at risk of being left out during transitions.
Inclusion Nova Scotia will continue working with people with intellectual disabilities, families, community partners, and government to support change and strengthen inclusion across Nova Scotia.
