NSRAP has been working since 1995 throughout Nova Scotia as a voice for the Rainbow Community. It has grown over the years and relies on interested volunteers and active members who identify and bring relevant issues to the Board for action. We have developed strong links with many government departments and non-governmental organizations, especially in the areas of education, human rights, policing, legal/political affairs, health care, faith & religion, and community development.
