Nova Scotia Accessibility Act


In 2017 Nova Scotia passed the Act Respecting Accessibility in Nova Scotia. The Accessibility Act aims to make Nova Scotia inclusive and barrier-free by 2030 and include six accessibility standards which are currently under development.

The Nova Scotia government is working with people with disabilities, and public and private sector organizations to create six standards for an accessible Nova Scotia. The accessibility standards will apply to:

  • goods and services
  • information and communication
  • transportation
  • employment
  • education
  • built environment
