We’d like to take a moment to thank Chrissy and Kelsey for their incredible contributions to the SUGAR Health project. Both have been part of the team since the beginning and have played an important role in shaping the work we’ve done together to make SGR Health more equitable and accessible in Nova Scotia.

As their part-time contracts wrap up, Chrissy and Kelsey are focusing on their fulltime social work. We’re so grateful for their dedication, insight, and energy throughout the project, and we wish them all the best!

Last year, we successfully secured enough funding to keep our site and team running until March. Now, we’re exploring additional funding opportunities to ensure we can continue our work. But to keep things going, we could use your help.

Every donation today will directly support the operation of our site, allowing us to provide valuable sexual, gender, and reproductive health resources to our Nova Scotian community. Your contribution will help us stay on track and move forward.

Donations can be made my e-transfer to shns.treasurer@gmail.com with the password 'sugar' or by visiting shns.ca and making a donation there. Please be sure to add a note that it is for SUGAR Health.

L’année dernière, nous avons réussi à obtenir suffisamment de financement pour maintenir notre site et notre équipe en activité jusqu’en mars. Nous étudions maintenant d’autres possibilités de financement pour nous assurer de pouvoir poursuivre notre travail. Mais pour continuer, nous avons besoin de votre aide.

Chaque don d’aujourd’hui soutiendra directement le fonctionnement de notre site, nous permettant de fournir de précieuses ressources en matière de santé sexuelle, de genre et de reproduction à notre communauté néo-écossaise. Votre contribution nous aidera à rester sur la bonne voie et à aller de l’avant.

Les dons peuvent être effectués par virement électronique à shns.treasurer@gmail.com avec le mot de passe « sugar » ou en visitant shns.ca et en y faisant un don. SVP ajouter une note indiquant que le don est destiné à SUGAR Health.

We are fully booked for sexual and reproductive health appointments (including things like STI tests, Pap tests, PrEP, pelvic exams, etc) for the month of August. At this time, we still have availability for gender-affirming care and social work service.

We understand that it's very frustrating that demand for our services outpaces our capacity. If you are looking for these services, please check out for a directory of other clinics and resources around the province.

If you have any questions and wish to speak to an admin, please call us at 902-455-9656 ext 0. We are happy to assess your unique situation as well as check on cancellations.

Our books for September appointments open on August 26 at 9 AM.
