What We Do

Vision

Nova Scotia acknowledges, values and invests in Gaelic, a customary language and culture that contributes to the diversity, vibrancy and continued growth and development of the province.

Mandate

The OGA's mandate is to assist Nova Scotians in the acquisition and use of Gaelic so the culture, wisdom, heritage and traditions of Gaels are valued, practiced, and passed on to future generations. Vibrant and empowered Gaelic language and cultural communities contribute to Nova Scotia's diversity, economy, social capital and sustainable competitiveness.
