The Centres of Rural Aging and Health, a partnership between the Government of N.S. and Nova Scotia Community College, will operate out of the local campuses in Port Hawkesbury and Shelburne and will offer activities, education and services tailored to the needs of local seniors. Programming will focus on safety, injury prevention, physical activity, nutrition and social connections. Local organizations and partners will offer workshops on topics like cybersecurity, estate planning and pharmacy healthcare services. Classes might include things like dance, knitting, rug hooking, mindfulness and yoga. The hubs are modelled on a 2021 pilot in the Annapolis Valley.
