Nova Scotia Farm Loan Board
COVID-19 Update
July 30, 2021
The Nova Scotia Farm Loan Board remains committed to keeping clients informed about actions we are taking to support you during this time.
The Farm Loan Board has been working with industry for over 100 years. We continue to be here to help you adapt to current market conditions and respond to the economic impact of the pandemic.
Phase IV of the Nova Scotia Reopening Plan is now in place, and we have adjusted our operations to help improve our accessibility. Throughout the pandemic our offices have remained open with limited staff onsite. Now our full team is transitioning back to our office locations on a full-time basis. With this adjustment we are excited to have the ability to accommodate more in person meetings with our lending team. If you wish to meet with a member of our staff, please call ahead to make an appointment to ensure we can welcome you to our location while adhering to public health protocols. We want to continue to ensure a safe visit for you and staff members. Additionally, our full team continues to be available by phone, email, or video conference for your convenience.
The Farm Loan Board is proud to navigate these times with you and we look forward to working with you through the next phase of Nova Scotia’s economic recovery.
