- Corporate body
- 1954 -
The Community Planning Association of Canada was established in Ottawa in 1946. Financed by the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) through the National Housing Act, the association had as its aim the education and involvement of community members in local planning initiatives.
As the central organization grew, provincial divisions were formed. In 1954 the first information session for CPAC Nova Scotia was held in Windsor, and the provincial chapter has since been involved in the national organization through National Council meetings. In Nova Scotia, CPAC is active in community planning, conference planning, consultation to local government, and in bringing together community members over planning issues.
The Nova Scotia Division of CPAC is run by a board of governors with executive and program committees.

Rebecca Cohn was born in Galicia in 1870. She emigrated from Europe to New York, and then in 1910 emigrated to Nova Scotia. Cohn married Moses Cohn, who died in 1922. When Rebecca first arrived in Halifax, she was a rag merchant. She was eventually able to invest in the real estate market and built a fortune. When her financial situation had improved, Cohn contributed large sums of money to various charities but insisted on remaining anonymous. She died on October 23, 1942 at Victoria General. Since she was childless, she named her nieces and nephew as executors of her will. In the will, Rebecca laid out what she wanted done with her estate and this included a sizeable amount of money set aside for charitable donations. Rebecca stated that the money should be saved for 20 years after her death and then be donated, preferably to Jewish charities in Poland. However, there was a suggestion that after World War II, it would be too difficult to make such donations. By the time of the donation to Dalhousie University in 1962, the money had grown to a total of $400 000. The donation to Dalhousie University had stipulations put in place by Louise and Marion Keshen. One of the stipulations was that the Arts Centre would have to be completed within 5 years. If the building was not built in the 5 years or any of the other stipulations were not met, the money would be repaid to the donors. Dalhousie University was able to build the Dalhousie Arts Centre with these funds in addition to several other donations. The Arts Centre features an auditorium named the Rebecca Cohn Auditorium in honor of the donation from Cohn’s estate.
