- On Thursday, Nova Scotia released its first 2SLGBTQIA+ Action Plan, pledging to boost funding and improve application processes for transgender and non-binary people.
- Under the Dismantling Racism and Hate Act, officials developed the plan using input from more than 600 people who identify as LGBTQ+ via surveys, virtual meetings and community-led consultations.
- The plan pledges training for police, corrections and victim-services staff to reduce bias, and inclusive housing programs for trans, gender-diverse people and racialized Nova Scotians.
