The Nova Scotia branch of the CCPA was founded in November 1999, to provide greater balance to public policy debates in the province. CCPA-NS:
- shows that there are choices and alternatives in public policy, even in the context of "globalization".
- promotes a participatory and accountable approach to the development of public policy in Nova Scotia.
- promotes policies that are socially and economically just and environmentally sustainable.
Our work is directed by a steering committee elected by CCPA-NS members. CCPA-NS comprises CCPA members who reside in Nova Scotia.
"2009 marks the tenth year of the Nova Scotia office of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. It is a small but mighty organization. It has produced 115 publications over its 10 years and has gained credibility and visibility becoming a go-to organization for the media.
