The Office of Addictions and Mental Health, in collaboration with several government departments, Nova Scotia Health, IWK Health, and community organizations, including the Community Grief and Emotional Wellness Hub, completed community conversations across Colchester, Cumberland, and East Hants Counties. A consulting company called Davis Pier was hired to help with this work.
These conversations were an important part of meeting the Mass Casualty Commission’s recommendations and supporting Nova Scotians most affected by the Mass Casualty.
These conversations related directly to Recommendation C.13, which advises government to address the public health emergency resulting from the unmet need for mental health, grief and bereavement supports following the Mass Casualty.
Summary of what is happening
Conversations with community organizations and service providers took place in late summer and fall 2025.
Community organizations in Colchester, Cumberland, and East Hants Counties brought people together in their communities.
A survey is now available for community members to share ideas and contribute to this work.
The conversations and the survey below will help us better understand how current supports have helped Nova Scotians.
