AIDS Coalition of Nova Scotia

Our Mission: We exist to empower persons living with and affected by HIV/AIDS and those at risk through health promotion and mutual support, and to reduce the spread of HIV in Nova Scotia.

Our Vision: The AIDS Coalition of Nova Scotia is a PHA-centered, community leader committed to the creation of a positive, safe and caring environment. We celebrate and share the experiences and lives of PHA and those affected by HIV/AIDS. We celebrate ourselves through our history, the telling of our stories and living courageous lives. We demonstrate courage and commitment in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

ACNS believes in the need for a sustainable, committed and coordinated response to HIV/AIDS. We believe learning is an important, ongoing process, fundamental to our growth. We believe in advocating for a just and compassionate society. As the AIDS Coalition of Nova Scotia envisions and fights for a cure, we strive to promote holistic quality of life. ACNS will respond to the changes and challenges by ensuring qualified, compassionate human resources, funding, education and commitment to health promotion.
