Hello, friends, and welcome back!
We hope you’ve had a restorative summer filled with sunshine, self-care, and meaningful moments. As the days drift toward fall, we’re delighted to return to what really matters: empowering women and strengthening our communities.
This season, Connect Women’s Centres is more energized than ever. We’re proud to be the unified, feminist voice for Nova Scotia’s nine Women’s Centres, working tirelessly to share information, deepen connections, and advocate for gender equality across our province.
The Women's Place Resource Centre will celebrate its anniversary this month. Their efforts inspire equality, inclusion, and community engagement. Participate in their events or campaigns to show your support for their vital mission.
Actions:
- Collaborate with the center for awareness campaigns.
- Feature their work in newsletters or blogs.
Together, let’s embrace the season ahead with unwavering solidarity, bold action, and a commitment to uplifting every voice.

This year, Connect Women’s Centres is celebrating an incredible milestone: 35 years of advocacy, empowerment, and vital community support. As the unified, feminist voice for Nova Scotia’s nine Women’s Centres, we remain committed to sharing knowledge, deepening connections, and driving gender equality forward.
✨ To mark this milestone, we’re hosting a province-wide conference on October 21, 2025, in Halifax. Our theme, inspired by Tuesday Ryan Hart of Find the Outside, is:
“Relationship is the Resolution.”
When we lead with relationship, we don’t just find a way forward. We create lasting change.
This day will bring together frontline workers, advocates, and system leaders to explore how trust, courageous conversations, and collective intelligence can transform our work and create stronger supports for women, girls, and gender-diverse individuals.
No cost to attend, but we’re inviting participants to bring donations of feminine hygiene supplies. These essential items will be distributed through our Women’s Centres to support women and girls across the province directly.
Please register here.
