What We Do
Affirmative Industries helps Nova Scotians with
disabilities achieve greater economic independence by
joining the workforce, starting their own business or
owning their own home.
Using a social enterprise model, we offer persons with disabilities opportunities to grow personally and professionally through skill development programs and community employment within businesses owned and operated by the organization. We also provide affordable housing for clients at Affirmative House in Dartmouth. In early 2011, we will be supporting selected entrepreneurs and social enterprises in starting a business.
