THATS A WRAP :) Our Affirming Access project is now officially complete. We’re incredibly proud of everything this project accomplished while it was active.

A huge thank you to the DAWN Fund for making this initiative possible from the start, and to United Way Cape Breton, one of our major funders, for their ongoing commitment to supporting community driven work across the island. Their support allows us to reach people who need these resources most, and we’re deeply appreciative.

Although this project has wrapped up, we will be exploring new funding opportunities to keep this work going. The momentum is here, the community is here, and we’re excited about what comes next. Keep an eye on our social media for updates and future plans.

ATTENTION: We truly thought this project would last for months, but the need in our communities has been so strong that our funding has moved much faster than expected. We are now down to the last little bit of funding for our Affirming Access Cape Breton program.

If you have been meaning to reach out, now is the time.

This program is low barrier, confidential, and judgment free.

We want to give a huge thank‑you to United Way Cape Breton for approving this year's Community Investment Fund and continuing to support the work we do. Their funding makes it possible for us to deliver all of our public education programs and community initiatives.

United Way doesn’t just help financially. They show up in real, practical ways too, like choosing us to receive menstrual products for community distribution. Their summer students recently dropped off a donation of Diva Cups just as our supply was running out.

We’re grateful for their partnership, their trust, and the way they continue to invest in the wellbeing of people across Cape Breton.

United Way Cape Breton participated in Menstrual May again this year. One of our summer students, Kennedy (pictured holding the box) successfully completed a grant application from DIVA’s Impact program, receiving 60 diva cups of various sizes along with information pamphlets. All products collected were donated to the Cape Breton Centre for S*xual Health to help fight period poverty in Cape Breton. Vanessa, ED at Cape Breton Centre for S*xual Health and summer students, Maggie & Morgan are also pictured.

Happy Pride Month, Cape Breton!

We’re so excited to introduce something we’ve been working on quietly for a while and Pride Month felt like the perfect time to share it.

Affirming Access CB
A new, low‑barrier support program for trans, two‑spirit, and gender‑diverse folks in Cape Breton.

Whether you need help with groceries, a bill, or support getting off‑island for gender‑affirming care, we’re here to stand beside you with dignity‑centered, community‑led support.

This program is made possible through the generous support of the DAWN Fund.

Please note: Funding for this program is limited, and support will be offered on a weekly cycle based on available resources.

THEY'RE FINALLY HERE!!!!

Our brand‑new S*x Over 60 guides have officially arrived, and we’re a super excited about it.

Getting older doesn’t mean the questions stop, it just means the conversations get wiser, funnier, and way more interesting. So The S*xual Health Nova Scotia Network has created a 44 page guide that’s supportive, clear, and full of real‑talk information for adults who deserve great s*xual health at every age.

And the best part?

We also offer a presentation to go with it. It's engaging, educational, and yes… super fun. Perfect for senior centres, community groups, wellness programs, or anywhere folks gather to learn and laugh together.

If you work with seniors: we’d love to come in and present.
If you just want a guide: swing by and pick one up: they’re free, friendly, and fabulous.

For more information, send us a message, email cbcfors*[email protected], or call 902‑539‑9650.
