The Association will not offer legal advice nor will the advocates (i.e. parents of other children with learning disabilities people with learning disabilities members of the association or other interested people). However the goal of the Learning Disabilities Association is to help parents better understand their children's disabilities and make them aware of the support systems already in place across the province. Through these services parents will hopefully become aware of their children's educational rights and use this knowledge to obtain the best possible education for their children working as a member of a team with various school board personnel to help their children. One of the goals of the LDANS is to guide parents through the involved process of coping with a child who is experiencing learning disabilities at home and at school in order to maximize opportunities for sucess. Overall the LDANS is designed to advance the education employment social development legal rights and general well-being of people with learning disabilities.

It is one of four Friendship Centres in the Maritimes the others being in Fredericton N.B. and St. John\'s and Goose Bay (both in Newfoundland-Labrador). In its early years the Mi\'kmaq Native Friendship Centre operated a hostel and provided transitional services to support the transition of Aboriginal people to life in the city and various programs funded by Corrections Canada aimed at individuals released from prison. Over the past 30 years the Centre\'s programs and services have changed to meet the needs of the ever-growing urban Aboriginal population in the Halifax area. In the 1980\'s the Centre developed various employment and education programs. For example in 1985 it established the Kjipuktuk Aboriginal College to offer educational and employment training programs for Aboriginal peoples. The College has met the demand through a variety of programs including among other things upgrading courses computer courses courses to prepare youth for university and college and resources and support for small businesses. It also has provided support to the establishment of various other urban services for First Nation people such as the setting up of Tawaak Housing to increase access to affordable and safe housing for First Nation people in Halifax an a native counseling unit in Hanson College at Dalhousie University. Over the past decade the Friendship Centre has established a day car and child development centre ("to insure the wellness of our children and families in an urban setting") and various youth programs It has also operated the "Metro Urban Referral Program" (service access and support) and converted the original hostel set up in the 1970\'s into a \'Shelter for Learning that provides living accommodations and transitional support and services for people who are currently homeless. It has also set up a number of alcohol and drug programs such as the Mainline Needle Exchange and the Methadone program. In addition the Centre has also set up the Kitpu Youth Centre and sponsored a yearly Elder and Youth Conference which has been will attended and an annual mid-summer Art and Cultural Exhibit at Dalhousie Arts Centre that has provided very popular with tourists and Haligonians alike.HalifaxSeptember.Clubs and organizations directoryAgricultural conservationConservation of natural resources00610cqo 220009 4500040119nnnnnneng165CaNSH eng CaNSHn-cn-ns20091231Middle Musquodoboit Agricultural SocietyP.O.

The profession of Social Work holds as core values a belief in the intrinsic worth and dignity of every person; their ability to make decisions and their right to self-determination. Social workers recognize however that society grants us a great deal of discretionary powers and that our clients may be at a vulnerable point in their lives or be otherwise socially disadvantanged. Therefore social workers seek to balance this public trust with personal accountability and the regulation of their social work practice.

Last update: May 25th 2007(Updated from website no changes)" The Nova Scotian Institute of Science was founded in 1862 as a direct descendant of the Halifax Mechanics Institute (1831 to 1860+) and the Halifax Literacy and Scientific Society (1839-1862) and thus is one of the oldest learned societies in Canada. The Institute has always functioned as a meeting place for scientists and those interested in science. Among its roles are stimulation of scientific research and provision of scientific information; throughout the Institute's history there has always been an effort to bring science closer to the public. Currently such elements as the exploitation of natural resources increasing populations urbanization industrialization and possible global climate change illustrate the need to help people understand the relevance of science in their lives. The Nova Scotian Institute of Science has a unique part to play in that it provides scientists technologists educators and administrators with the opportunity to speak directly to the community. The Institute was needed in 1862 and it is still needed today and for the future. Membership is open to any person with a professional or amateur interest in science research or teaching. Programs include the regular monthly meetings held in the Halifax area on the first Monday of every month at 7:30pm in the NS Museum of Science Summer Street Halifax. These meetings are open to the public and scientific or related topics of contemporary interest are presented by experts. The subjects range from the mysteries of outer space to natural foods and environmental issues; always the attempt is to ensure relevance to issues of the day."HalifaxMay.http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Science/NSIS/index.htmlClubs and organizations directoryChastityEuthanasiaAbortionPro-life movementPregnancySelf-help groups00767cqo 220014 4500040119nnnnnneng311CaNSH eng CaNSHn-cn-ns20090331Nova Scotians United for LifeP.O Box 8333 Station A Halifax NS B3K 5M1 Margo Burke Executive Director NSUL and PR 423-3114 423-9955 (Project Rachel) 492-0562 (fax) nsul2001@yahoo.com projectrachel_halifax@yahoo.caProject Rachel - Post Abortion Healing."

The goal of the services is to improve employment outlook to provide resources to aid clients in the process of identifying opportunities in their chosen occupational field and to shorten the duration of their employment search. The services of People Plus provide the client with the job search tools necessary to support a continual approach to career development. They do not provide resum\xe9s and perform other job search services for the client; rather they provide assistance support resources and expertise to enable the client to build effective job search skills.

An inventory and evaluation of prior skills and experiences is the cornerstone of their services. Through unique and effective skills identification exercises clients are able to recognize and validate their previous work education volunteer and community involvement and life experiences. To develop an effective resum\xe9 to prepare for the interview and to network effectively clients are guided through a process in which they must recognize and validate their prior experiences. In terms of the job search clients who have performed an inventory of their skills and abilities are better equipped to provide written and verbal evidence of their value as a potential employee. They facilitate a proactive method of job search that allows the client to confidently market their relevant skills. Clients are assisted in developing a unique self marketing plan to confidently identify and approach potential employers. Activities related to this project are carried out in a supportive environment that respects the dignity and diversity of all job seekers. The target population are the unemployed or job threatened workers. They range from recent graduates of private institutions technical schools community college and universities to those in mid career and transitions to seasoned workers. Through years of experience their expert facilitators have developed group management techniques proven to be effective in delivering job search interventions to a wide range of demographics and occupational objectives.
