HALIFAX Nova Scotia says eight small homes for people with disabilities will be completed by spring, but an advocacy group describes the pace of the program as glacial. The project, first announced in 2017, reflects the Liberal government s commitment to move people with intellectual disabilities from larger institutions to community-based living, the province said in a release Monday. Four of the eight residences have already opened in New Glasgow, Isle Madame, New Minas and Yarmouth. The government says two homes under construction in Halifax will open this spring and the remaining two homes, in Milton and Meteghan, are expected to be completed this winter.
