Administrative history

The Welfare Council (Halifax-Dartmouth area) was established in October 1930 under the name Council of Social Agencies to serve the interests of social welfare agencies in Halifax, advising the community in areas of health, welfare, and recreation services and programs. In 1951 the name changed to the Welfare Council of Halifax, and in 1963 to the Welfare Council (Halifax-Dartmouth area), when it extended its services outside of the city.

Records were donated to Dalhousie University Archives on December 8, 1980 by the Maritime School of Social Work.
