Protesting
Institutional Living
Across Nova Scotia
June 8, 2014

Institutional living is not for the faint at
heart. After all, that’s how society houses its criminals. Why does the Nova Scotia Government warehouse
the most vulnerable people in our society in institutions, when worldwide studies
prove it’s detrimental to those living in that environment? Nova Scotia is one
of the last provinces in Canada to shut down its institutions. It’s time our government listened to Nova
Scotians when we say we want our loved ones living in the community. Let your voice be heard. On June 8th join Advocating
Parents of Nova Scotia and People First Nova Scotia to protest the existence of
institutions across Nova Scotia.
