I've always been told that I'm funny. That's sort of been my weapon from the time that I was born.

Nova Scotia Advisory Council on the Status of Women

Advisory Council members are women from across Nova Scotia who have demonstrated interest and involvement in women's issues in their communities. The Advisory Council was established in 1977 under the Advisory Council on the Status of Women Act and the Advisory Council on the Status of Women Regulations. It was created to educate the public and advise the provincial government on issues of interest and concern to women. The Advisory Council works to make sure that issues affecting the lives of Nova Scotia women become part of the government's plan. Our concerns touch all areas of women's lives.
