Government of Nova Scotia Accessibility Plan

The Government of Nova Scotia Accessibility Plan (2025-2028) was developed collaboratively with involvement from departments and offices across government. The plan was informed by discussions with employees with disabilities and Nova Scotians from a wide range of backgrounds (including persons with disabilities, and people representing underserved and underrepresented communities).
