In 2023, 1 in 5 children in Nova Scotia lived in poverty. This stat is from our annual report on child & family poverty in NS, which we have done for over a decade. This report is important not only to hold governments accountable, but also for community organizations in identifying need.
Speakers include Child Care Now Nova Scotia and YWCA Halifax.
