Aging Well Nova Scotia is a province-wide, impact organization located in Mi’kma’ki / Nova Scotia. We know the many positive contributions older adults make and the importance of ensuring seniors can live healthy and engaged lives.
Aging Well Nova Scotia works in collaboration with senior serving organizations to promote and support age-friendly, inclusive communities and to ensure older Nova Scotians are connected and valued. We recognize and value the diversity of Nova Scotia’s communities and people. Promoting inclusion opens the door to a greater range of ideas, talents, and solutions.

Mission:
We foster collaboration within the community-based senior serving sector (CBSS), that enhances their ability to serve seniors.Values:
Collaboration, inclusion, respect, equity, compassion, transparency, accountability -
With roots dating back to 1992, Aging Well Nova Scotia (formerly known as Community Links) has evolved over the years. What started as a community development project designed to connect isolated rural Nova Scotian communities has grown into a provincial impact organization. Through all the changes, our goal to support, collaborate with, and advocate for the community-based senior serving sector and older adults remains at the heart of our work.
Aging Well Nova Scotia has been supporting senior-serving groups and organizations to strengthen their individual and collective capacity for more than 30 years and continues to advocate for age friendly communities that ensure all seniors can age well in this province.
