Community Health

Community health is concerned with the maintenance, protection and improvement of the health status of a community population. In this formulation, though, it is ambiguous about whether this is a service of the administrative state, or the common good of a local people. In our position, we emphasize the solidarity of community health, and its corresponding grounding in the non-profit sector.

We have initiated a project to examine the history of community health in the province.


 
 
 

Historical Notes

  • Anna Leonowens is known in Nova Scotia as one of the organizers of the Victoria School of Art (now NSCAD University) in 1887. She subsequently became involved in organizing the Women's Suffrage Association, where she became the first President. Although Anna was not to live to see it, the political coalition behind women's suffrage was eventually successful with the passing of the Nova Scotia Franchise Act of 26 April, 1918.
