Accessibility Awareness Week Videos
Recreation Nova Scotia is celebrating Accessibility Awareness Week from May 26th to 30th by telling stories of accessible recreation throughout Nova Scotia.
The Halifax Lancers
The Halifax Lancers have been in operation since 1930 and have been making horses accessible to people with disabilities with their therapeutic riding program for over 65 years! Take a moment to watch this powerful video highlighting the impact this program has on staff, volunteers and participants. Many thanks to Claire Fraser Photography, who shot and edited this video and the Province of Nova Scotia for their financial support.
