As a social worker & former non-profit ED, I've seen what happens when prevention programs disappear.
The costs don't vanish. They shift—to ERs, shelters, crisis services. And they multiply.
This isn't fiscal responsibility. It's cost deferral.

These cuts land on real people:
→ Seniors losing their only social connection → Youth losing programs like Hope Blooms → Mi'kmaw & African NS communities losing cultural programming → Artists losing the modest grants that let them stay in this province

I've published an open letter on NS's 2026-27 budget.
$130.4M in cuts to community grants. 127 programs eliminated. 160 reduced.
That's 2% of provincial spending—but 100% of the lifeline for our most vulnerable neighbours.
