We’re pleased to announce that the Nova Scotia Grief Alliance (NSGA) – co-led by the Nova Scotia Hospice Palliative Care Association (NSHPCA) and Nova Scotia Health – will host the first annual Nova Scotia Provincial Grief Symposium on National Grief and Bereavement Day, November 18, 2025, at the Old Orchard Inn in Wolfville.

The theme, “Compassion in Action,” calls on all of us to recognize grief as a universal human experience and to turn empathy into meaningful, practical supports that strengthen our communities.

This free, province-wide event will bring together professionals, community organizations, and grief support providers to share knowledge, connect, and learn from one another. The day will include keynote presentations, breakout sessions, and free exhibitor spaces for community organizations.
