The NSEF is fighting the Provincial Government because of the lack of eligible funding we receive here in Cape Breton. We invite all concerned residents to join us.

Trudeau still imposed it on provinces. Because of this, Nova Scotia will be $993 million short in the federal funding. According to the Council of Canadians, the federal FUNDING FOOTPRINT will be as low as 18.6% in 2024 and trending even LOWER. Remember it was 50 - 50 percent when this started!
