Reference Services
We can answer your questions, find information relating to women’s issues or refer you to other sources that can help.
Reference Service is provided to the NSACSW staff, the Council members, provincial and federal government personnel, educators, students and the general public. Call, send a fax or email and we will try to answer your question.
