Nova Scotia is set to launch a new strategy aimed at improving community safety and well-being, using federal funding to address complex social issues. The initiative comes as part of the province’s response to recommendations from the Mass Casualty Commission, which has highlighted the need for more targeted approaches to public safety. The plan will focus on strengthening local communities through better support systems and preventive measures. Officials say the strategy will be developed in collaboration with local leaders and experts to ensure it reflects the specific needs of each area. The move reflects a growing emphasis on addressing social challenges through community-based solutions.
