Progress Monitoring Committee

Monitoring progress on the Mass Casualty Commission's Final Report, Turning the Tide Together.

The Progress Monitoring Committee was established in 2023 by the Provincial and Federal Governments to provide a mechanism for monitoring, reporting on, creating mutual accountability, and exchanging knowledge and information as Canada, Nova Scotia, and others respond to Turning the Tide Together, the Final Report of the Mass Casualty Commission. The Progress Monitoring Committee will support engagement and transparency as Governments and other partners work together to advance this vital work.
