History
The AIDS Coalition of Nova Scotia (ACNS) was formed in 1995 through a merger of the Nova Scotia Persons With AIDS Coalition and AIDS Nova Scotia. The organization's mission is to promote and support the health and well-being of persons living with and affected by HIV/AIDS and to reduce the spread of HIV in Nova Scotia. Over the course of its operations, ACNS has conducted a number of advocacy and research projects related to HIV/AIDS, including the Gay Men and Alcohol Project and the Women and AIDS Project. Beginning in 1996, ACNS operated the Community AIDS Treatment Information Exchange (CATIE), a website that provided information about HIV/AIDS-related supports and services. ACNS has also organized AIDS Walk events since 1995, with the most recent walk taking place in November 2016.
