Fantastic News for Community Groups Across our Region!

Our communities would not be what they are without the hard work and dedication of our charities and not-for-profits.

Unfortunately, during a time when they were needed the most – over the pandemic – they had the most limited resources and have since struggled to regain the finances they had pre-pandemic.

To help, our government introduced the Community Services Recovery Fund, a one-time, $400 million investment to help charities and not-for-profits adapt, modernize, and get back on their feet.

Here in Central Nova, more than $829,000 was awarded to 11 organizations:

Naomi Society, Antigonish - $88,427

Pictou County Volunteer Ground Search and Rescue, Little Harbour - $12,162

Tearmann Society, New Glasgow - $76,373

Eastern Shore Musquodoboit Valley Literacy Network, Sheet Harbour - $59,156

Antigonish Affordable Housing Society, Antigonish - $97,255

Big Brother Big Sisters of Pictou County, New Glasgow - $57,050

Pictou County Women’s Resource and Sexual Assault Centre- $90,350

New Glasgow Legion, New Glasgow - $98,806
