New legislation coming for Nova Scotians under adult guardianship

You’re invited to help shape new legislation to better protect the rights of vulnerable Nova Scotians under adult guardianship.  Capacity to decide was an all-or-nothing condition, but new legislation will protect the rights of all adults to autonomy and self-determination among changes.  Contact adultguardianship@novascotia.ca to weigh in.
