The Department of Health and Wellness and the Alzheimer Society of Nova Scotia have been co-leading an Advisory Committee, guiding the development of Nova Scotia's first dementia strategy. This comprehensive plan seeks to enhance delivery of dementia care and treatment, ensuring people living with dementia, as well as their families or care partners, are well supported.
