    From May 25 to 31, communities across Nova Scotia will commemorate 2025’s Access Awareness Week Nova Scotia (AAWNS) under the theme “Our Voices, Our Votes: Disability Rights in Action.” For 39 years, Nova Scotians have come together during Access Awareness Week to bring attention to the importance of removing barriers for people with disabilities. Through public awareness, community partnerships, education and dialogue, Access Awareness Week aims to foster an environment of equal participation for persons with disabilities.

    The Nova Scotia League for Equal Opportunities is providing funding for individuals, groups or organizations to support events during Access Awareness Week. Applicants can apply to receive $100 or more to support public events in their region. Funds awarded may vary from the amount applied for depending on the total number of applications received. Funds must be used solely for the purpose of Access Awareness Week Nova Scotia events in the year funds are received. Each applicant may apply only once a year.
