Welcome to the Nova Scotia League for Equal Opportunities
(The League, NSLEO)
The League is a catalyst in building social, community, and political leadership of persons with disabilities within Nova Scotia. We achieve this at a national level through our national affiliate, the Council of Canadians with Disabilities (CCD) and through provincial affiliates around the province and across the country.
We envision a future where the abilities of persons with disabilities are fully recognized, developed and living as equals in society.
