The Arthritis Society is Canada’s principal health charity, empowering the more than four million Canadians with arthritis to live their lives to the fullest by combating the effects of arthritis. Over the last 65 years, The Society has invested more than $180 million in arthritis research to develop better treatments and ultimately find a cure. In Nova Scotia alone, 1 in 4 people are currently battling arthritis, making it one of Nova Scotia’s most common chronic conditions.

Our mission

- To change what it is to be blind through innovative programs and powerful advocacy that enable Canadians impacted by blindness to live the lives they choose.

Our Commitments

Increase understanding and dispel misconceptions

Lack of awareness about the realities of life with blindness and sight loss is the underlying barrier that creates most of the issues for the people we serve across all parts of their lives – issues from lack of employment opportunities to accessibility barriers to unequal education experiences to social exclusion.

Remove barriers and create safe journeys

People with sight loss continue to loudly voice that transportation barriers are among the greatest they face, whether they live in rural or urban environments.

Support parents and kids in and out of the classroom

Kids who are blind or have low vision aren’t receiving the classroom support they need to excel, while parents who are blind are often unable to participate in their children’s education, as assignments, report cards, and other critical communications aren’t provided in accessible formats. At the same time, parents report a distinct lack of awareness about sight loss among medical professionals, which leads to a lack of information, resources, and guidance.

The Friends of Gilda’s Nova Scotia is committed to developing a place to provide free, professional programs, ensuring that all people affected by cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action and sustained by community. We are a volunteer run organization based out of Halifax working to build Atlantic Canada's first chapter of The Cancer Support Community affiliated Gilda's Club.

Gilda’s Club is a non-clinical, psychosocial and emotional support program named for comedian Gilda Radner. Gilda Radner, most famous for her work as an original cast member of NBC’s Saturday Night Live, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1986. In her book It’s Always Something, Gilda describes her experience with cancer, and how important finding a community to learn from and share the cancer journey with was to her.

In her memory, Gilda’s Club Worldwide was established in New York City, which has helped communities all across North America benefit from psychosocial and emotional support. In 2009 Gilda’s Club Worldwide partnered with The Wellness Community, which combined the knowledge, resources, and expertise of two organizations dedicated to psychosocial oncology into one: The Cancer Support Community.

The Cancer Support Community has since grown into an international leader in psychosocial service delivery and research with 59 Clubhouses and Communities established across the United States, Canada, Japan, and Israel, with partners in the Philippines, the UK, and India, as well as the Cancer Support Community’s Research and Training Institute in Philadelphia.

<strong>The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada (LLSC) is the largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding research, finding cures and ensuring access to treatments for blood cancer patients.</strong>

Since 1955, LLSC has been on the forefront of blood cancer advances such as chemotherapies and stem cell transplantation leading the way to the targeted therapies and immunotherapies that are saving thousands of lives today.

LLSC is changing the landscape of cancer with more than 28 active research projects that explore different avenues of new and adventurous research; ones with promise and ones that will save lives not someday, but today.

Whenever we talk about cancer, we always use the same word. Someday. Someday there will be a cure. Someday we won’t lose the people we love. But when is someday? With LLSC’s research partnerships and patients support services and advocates working for blood cancer patients everywhere, <strong>someday is today.</strong>

The Lung Association of Nova Scotia is a charitable health organization dedicated to improving quality of life by preventing and managing lung disease through research, advocacy, patient services and education.

From our main office in Halifax, we serve all Nova Scotians with lung disease through help from generous donors like you. Our focus is simple: offer the best programs and services in lung health possible, advocate for better lung health research and put the money we receive in areas that directly help Nova Scotians breathe easier.

The PROsocial Project is a student-led initiative to improve knowledge about mental health resources and substance misuse on campus using harm-reduction based methods. We provide information on the resources at-risk students can use to improve their own mental health but also the mental health of their peers – hence the use of the word “prosocial” in our name.
