Nova Scotia transgender people now able to change sex designation

By Staff The Canadian Press
Sept 24,2015

HALIFAX – Transgender people in Nova Scotia are now able to have the sex designation they prefer on their birth certificates.

The amendment to the Vital Statistics Act took effect earlier this week.

The move comes after more than 600 Nova Scotians signed a petition last fall calling for the amendment, prompting Service Nova Scotia Minister Mark Furey to introduce legislation in April.
