About Us
Who We Are
Clean Nova Scotia is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1988. Our staff is guided by a Board of Directors with representation from the realms of business, academics, government, and our community at large. Over the last 20 years, the organization has evolved into an effective, high profile institution with a broad mandate to work with individuals, government, business, and communities to improve our environment.
Our Methods
We engage in dialogue to seek collaborative methods that will lead us towards sustainable and positive change. We recognize that as members of this community, we are part of the problem, and are therefore empowered to be part of the solution. The challenges that our members, staff and organization face are the same as those faced by the rest of Nova Scotia. We seek actions that make a positive difference and yet offer opportunities for learning to those who engage in them.
Education and Collaboration
Clean Nova Scotia is effective in part because we are independent. We are able to bring business, governments, institutions, communities and individuals together to work towards a sustainable society, long-term protection of the environment, our health, and economic viability. Our strength is in finding solutions that fit the communities they are intended for, we do this by involving community members early in the process.
