The Nova Scotia Council for the Family plans to make updates to the directory in 2004/5 as funding allows. Organizations listed in the directory who wish to report changes are encouraged to e-mail the changes to the Council at nscf@gov.ns.ca.
In the event we are able to expand the directory in the future and you know of a program which should be included, please let us know by contacting nscf@gov.ns.ca.

This Family Connections project was made possible by the financial assistance of the Federal/Provincial/Territorial Early Childhood Development Initiative and the support and guidance of the members of the Parenting Committee of the Nova Scotia Council for the Family. Our able Committee Chair Kara MacNeil, kept us on track, hard at work, and helped us overcome the occasional challenges along the way. We would also like to acknowledge the many contributions of Eileen Kilfoil, Project Manager. Eileen provided the technical expertise, developed the data collection instrument, collected the data through interviews, designed the database, and created the online directory as well as the NSCF website. Quite an accomplishment in a few short months! Eileen was assisted by Michelle Tessier, who converted the data and designed the hard-copy version of the directory. They were quite a team!
