Join us for BIANS’ Annual Flag Raising Ceremony in recognition of Brain Injury Awareness Month on Tuesday, June 2, 2026. Come together with the community as we hear the reading of the official proclamation, raise awareness of acquired brain injury (ABI), and show support for survivors and families across Nova Scotia.
