In the upcoming provincial election, Autism Nova Scotia is focused on the Autism Action Plan. The provincial government plays a crucial role in ensuring the more than 32,000 Autistic Nova Scotians and their families are given the opportunity to live their lives fully. No matter what party wins the election, we will work with them to ensure the Autism Action Plan is realized.
As a non-partisan organization, Autism Nova Scotia is ready to work with all Parties to make Nova Scotia a better place for our community. We remain steadfast in our mission of building respect, acceptance, and inclusion for Autistic individuals and their families through advocacy, education, and programming across the life span.
You can review this toolkit for more information leading up to election day.
Autism Nova Scotia sent letters to the three major political parties, asking each party to commit to the implementation of the Autism Action Plan. You can view the letters below.
