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.
