Through its year-end donations and ongoing engagement with First Nations stakeholders, Dexter Nova Alliance GP supported a range of organisations tackling food insecurity, homelessness, and palliative care in Nova Scotia.
Approach
As part of a holiday giving programme, donations were provided to six community-based organisations across the counties served by the project.
In parallel, Dexter Nova Alliance GP employed Indigenous individuals and maintained an active First Nations working group to identify labour and engagement opportunities.
Impact
- Direct community support: Donations addressed urgent needs in food security, housing, and end-of-life care.
- Equity and inclusion: Indigenous participation in operations supports long-term reconciliation and workforce integration.
- Reputation and trust: Reinforces Dexter Nova GP’s role as a socially engaged partner.
