Celebrating Innovative Communities
A Discussion Paper on Community Development
Nova Scotia has established an interdepartmental Community Development Advisory Group to prepare a policy defining government's role in helping communities increase their sustainability.

A key activity will be consultations with stakeholders across the province. These will provide an opportunity for direct community input to the policy development process. The current paper forms a backdrop for these discussions, raising questions about the challenges communities face and what governments and communities should do about them.
