Municipal and Village Equity and Anti-Racism Plans

Municipalities and villages are important partners in becoming an equitable, inclusive and accessible province.

Through regulations under the Dismantling Racism and Hate Act, municipalities and villages are the first public bodies required to develop plans to address systemic hate, inequity and racism.

Each municipal and village plan should be:

• informed by engagement with underrepresented and underserved communities within the jurisdiction that the plan covers;
• in place by April 1, 2025;
• publicly available in an accessible format; and
• updated every three years, in line with Accessibility Act requirement.

Below is a list of the 70 municipalities and villages in Nova Scotia, along with links to their plans where they have been created. An interactive map showing where plans have been created follows.
