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 supported employment within businesses owned and operated by the organization. We also provide affordable housing for clients.
