Ongoing Strike
At Continuing Care Association of Nova Scotia, we want to acknowledge the ongoing strike impacting several long-term care homes across Nova Scotia.
We know this is a difficult time for residents, families, and the dedicated teams working in our homes. We are hearing about the pressures being experienced—from staffing challenges to fatigue and disruptions to daily routines that support resident wellbeing.
To all those working through this: we see you, we hear you, and we appreciate you.
Your commitment to care, even in challenging circumstances, continues to make a difference every day.
CCANS is actively engaging with our members and advocating for a timely and meaningful resolution. We are also connecting directly with impacted homes to offer support in any way we can.
To residents and families—please know that care teams remain focused on providing safe, compassionate care.
This is a challenging moment, but the strength and dedication within long-term care remains clear.

For over four decades, CCANS has stood as a cornerstone of support, education, and advocacy for members. Our diverse membership includes organizations from both the Department of Opportunities and Social Development and the Department of Seniors and Long-Term Care. Operating at arm’s length from the government, we champion our members’ interests by recognizing their successes in care and bringing a collective voice to address the challenges they face.
We offer our members a voice and a venue to facilitate positive change and the best possible care and homes for seniors, vulnerable populations, and their families.
