About Autism Nova Scotia’s Cape Breton Region Chapter

Autism Nova Scotia’s Cape Breton chapter is dedicated to improving the quality of life of Cape Bretoners living with autism. Our mandate is to advocate for improved services, provide social programs, community outreach, education, awareness and non-monetary support for individuals and families living with autism.

Our programs offers typical “tween” and “teen” social experiences along with a after-school program in an environment that is safe and supportive to the needs of our participants. In addition to our weekly evening programs, we also offer summer and march break day camps, a young adult drop in night and life skill development programs.
