COLLECTIVE SOCIAL ENTERPRISES<br />
Collaborative Partnerships<br />
PROVINCIAL & INTERPROVINCIAL MEMBERS<br />
in 2016, Directions Council members began to explore social<br />
enterprise models that would benefit from the pooled resources<br />
of multiple agency partners and at the same time create more<br />
employment and skill building opportunities for individuals living<br />
with intellectual disabilities, mental health challenges and other<br />
barriers to employment.<br />
As a result, the Ability Wood<br />
Products Co-operative Ltd.<br />
was established in 2017 and<br />
currently represents the<br />
collective interests of 8<br />
member organizations.<br />
Building on this model, 11<br />
agencies joined forces in 2018<br />
to launch Home Services<br />
Nova Scotia.
TRUSTED. LOCAL. RELIABLE.<br />
Home Services Nova Scotia offers<br />
housekeeping, meal preparation, packing and<br />
yard work services for older adults in 10<br />
communities across NS. Great job coaches<br />
support friendly, trained staff to ensure<br />
professional service delivery every time.<br />
Purchase a holiday gift certificate to lighten the<br />
cleaning load for a friend or family member on<br />
your holiday list. Trusted, local and reliable teams<br />
will deliver!<br />
