Nova Scotia Hospice and Palliative Care Association (“NSHPCA”) is a mission-driven community-based organization dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by grief. As the provincial organization that leads community-based Advanced Care Planning for Nova Scotia and a key player in coordinating existing grief-related resources, NSHPCA is led by a dedicated and hard-working board of directors. It has historically relied on valuable volunteers and partners to achieve its mission and coordinate resources in the community. In January 2024, the Government of Nova Scotia announced that NSHPCA had been awarded a long-term contract to act as Community Hub Organization and will play a centralized coordination and supportive role for the new NS Grief Strategy.

$2.3 million to support new approach to grief, bereavement and emotional wellness support.
