Hundreds of community organizations and programs are bracing for cuts, as the Nova Scotia government reduced grants by $130 million in its budget this week.
The grant reductions will impact everything from scholarships, the arts and sports to programs for Mi’kmaw, Black and Gaelic communities, climate change, health, seniors, youth and many more.
Funding cuts range from smaller amounts such as $1,000 for a NSCAD scholarship or $5,000 for the African Heritage Month proclamation to millions of dollars, such as $3.7 million for graduate scholarships, $5 million for locally managed museums and $10 million for the Nova Scotia Apprenticeship Agency.
The cuts come as the provincial government grapples with a $1.2-billion deficit. The budget, which was released on Monday, contained news of broad cuts, which will result in job losses across the province.
