N.S. Health works to expand access to youth gender-affirming care

Andrew Lam · CBC News · Posted: May 12, 2025

Nova Scotia Health is working to expand access to youth gender-affirming care in the province by replicating a clinic model introduced in the Annapolis Valley last year.

In February 2024, a youth clinic dedicated to providing this kind of health care opened in Kentville. Then another opened this March in Bridgewater, with more clinics in the works.

"Accessing gender-affirming care isn't just a city thing or an urban thing," said mental health clinician Julien Davis, who is also trans.

Some happy news.  Kentville (pop. 7000), which features prominently in the story, is my nearest town.
