This bursary supports students from communities under‑represented in Nova Scotia’s creative sector as they pursue Creative Industries programming at NSCC.

Today, March 31, marks Transgender Day of Visibility, recognizing the importance of fostering an inclusive environment where everyone, regardless of gender identity or gender expression, feels valued, respected and safe.

We also acknowledge that transgender and gender-diverse communities continue to be disproportionately impacted by discrimination, violence and exclusion. These impacts are often compounded for individuals who hold intersecting identities or are navigating other systemic barriers.

While we reflect on the growing swell of anti-trans hate, increased violence and discriminatory legislation, we are reminded to use this opportunity to amplify our voices, challenge harmful stereotypes and work towards creating an equitable, accepting world where everyone can safely be themselves. Today, and every day, we stand with you as allies.
