Today we come together to reflect, to honour, and to remember the brave Veterans who served and sacrificed for our freedom.
We are grateful to share this day alongside residents, families, and staff.

Lest we forget.

NHNSA remembers the precious children who never returned home from the residential schools and the travesties that fook place. We honour the survivors, the families of the children lost, as well as all families and all communities impacted. We are dedicated to learning more, to seek truth and to be part of reconciliation.
Orange symbolizes the loss of culture, freedom, and self-esteem experienced by these children, serving as a reminder that "Every Child Matters".

When Saint Vincent’s Nursing Home (formerly Guest House) opened in 1966 by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Halifax, it was administered by 8 Sisters of Charity as an outward expression of their “contemporary mission to the Church” (from the Sisters of Charity Archives).

St. Vincent’s Nursing Home was named after Saint Vincent de Paul (guy in the picture in our lobby!), who is remembered for his work with the poor. His guiding principle was a conviction that God is in every person and that God is love.
The values he held - respect, compassion, humility, and simplicity are evident in St. Vincent’s Nursing Home’s core values of caring and respect for all.
“Lord, help me make time today to serve you in those who are most in need of encouragement or assistance.”
- Saint Vincent de Paul
