Amazing!! Just what I envisioned 10 years ago! Just wish the Nova Scotia Government would catch up to Ontario and the rest of the world when it comes to actually supporting inclusion and our children 🤷‍♀️.

Preference given to those available during the after school time-frame (2 - 5:30/6). But availability at any time during the day/night is needed as well.

There are rumours going around that Rowan's Room is closing our doors. These rumours are NOT true.

However, due to the lack of government recognition and support for programs that are critical for the diverse and under-serviced populations we serve, we are having to downsize and restructure our offerings greatly.

While we are not, in fact, closing, these changes still have a profound impact on our staff, students, their families and the communities we serve.

As we continue to navigate what this will look like, we ask that those impacted by the lack of equitable and free access to the supports and services that their human rights entitles them to, reach out to your MLAs and government officials to share how critical programs like ours are essential to an inclusive and barrier free Nova Scotia.

Please feel free to email our Executive Director, Elizabeth Mason-Squires, at [email protected] if you have any questions or if you wish to share your support and stories.

More information will be released in the coming days regarding our restructure.

Thank you to all of the amazing staff, students, families and community members for all you do and for your continued support.
