Governance Review of Fire and Associated Services in Nova Scotia
Mission of the project
Mission of the project
The Fire Services Association of Nova Scotia (FSANS), in collaboration with the Departments of
Emergency Management and Municipal Affairs has hired
Transitional Solutions Inc. (TSI) to provide a province-wide governance review to
improve the coordination, sustainability, and effectiveness of fire and associated services. This review is
both timely and essential. As Nova Scotia faces increasing climate-related emergencies, complex
governance structures, and rising demands on both career and volunteer fire services, there is a critical
need to develop a modern governance framework that is collaborative, community-grounded, and
adaptable to future risks.
