At ISANS, we had an amazing evening with participants from the 2SLGBTQIA+ community for our art-based activity. This group is co-facilitated by ISANS and Rainbow Refugee Association of Nova Scotia (RRANS) staff as part of the Well-being for All project.

Among our activities we had the Tree of life where participants explored different aspects of personal identity, including past experiences, future goals, strengths, and support systems. Through creative reflection and discussion, participants have the opportunity to recognize their resilience, celebrate their achievements, and strengthen their sense of belonging.

The group meets twice a month on Wednesday evenings, providing a welcoming and supportive space for connection, self-expression, and community building.

Happy Pride Season!

Come and celebrate at the International Day of Play - Ferry Terminal Park, Dartmouth June 6 between 11 AM and 2 PM. Free family fun for everyone with 'loose parts' and old time play.
