We work together in community to build informed and caring gambling practices. We are NOT anti-gambling. We raise awareness of the risks and harms gambling can cause in local communities not only for individuals, but also for communities as a whole and seek to minimize these harms. Currently we are focusing on Youth Gambling issues, raising awareness though interactive video and workshops, researching the impact of online sports betting on youth, and gathering stories from across the province to illustrate how gambling harms affect us all, particularly youth. We serve the whole province and meet virtually so all Nova Scotians are able to participate.
