Nova Scotians are invited to give feedback on proposed definitions for types of discrimination and racism that will be addressed in the Province’s equity and anti-racism strategy. Legislation passed in April commits the province to developing an equity and anti-racism strategy by July 2023.
Seven types of discrimination and racism were identified for definition and inclusion in the strategy:
- Ableism
- Anti-Asian racism
- Anti-Black racism
- Anti-Indigenous racism
- Anti-Semitism
- Gender and sexuality-based discrimination
- Islamophobia

Nova Scotians can give input by attending virtual engagement sessions being held between September 19—November 12.
Please RSVP for sessions by emailing or calling OEAEngagement@novascotia.ca or 1-844-424-4897. You will be asked to provide your first and last name. Upon registration, a Zoom link will be provided to you.
