Rock Church in Lower Sackville, N.S., launched a pop-up comfort center last week to help meet the needs of Black communities within the wildfire evacuation zone.
This past January, the Nova Scotia Sisterhood was taking its first appointments. The initiative was inspired by the Nova Scotia Brotherhood, which is a free program for Black men to gain barrier-free health-care access.
The Nova Scotia Brotherhood Initiative is a free program offering Black men access to health care in the Halifax community to improve their overall health and wellbeing.
