The Progressive Conservative party will form a majority government in Nova Scotia. This election shows us that our voices, our votes, & what we stand for matters. The PC’s put fertility funding in their platform & we look forward to having them rollout their plan! @TimHoustonNS
We want to take a moment to say thank you! From the bottom of our hearts, the support you've all shown during this election campaign has been amazing. Today, we vote, we rest, and we wait.
Fertility is not only a women’s health issue. Between 40-50 percent of fertility issues are considered to be male factor. 2SLGBTQIA+ couples & single people looking to have a child will need outside support. No one should have to take on a financial burden to build their family.
Campaigns are unpredictable, and no one really knows what will happen until election day. That's because your votes matter. Polling is shifting in Nova Scotia during these final days of the campaign.

The average cost of one IVF cycle in Canada is $20,000, and oftentimes multiple cycles are needed. People shouldn't need to choose between taking on debt and building their families. Everyone deserves equal access and support for fertility treatment. #nspoli#nfldpoli
We're one week out from the Nova Scotia provincial election! A lot can happen in seven days... Your voice and your vote matter. Keep connecting with candidates. This is the home stretch! #nspoli
The New Democratic Party of Nova Scotia has not put fertility funding in their platform. However, their leader Gary Burrill sent one of our members a statement regarding fertility in Nova Scotia. Part of his statement can be found below:
One of our members chatted with CTV yesterday about their journey and the importance of funding fertility treatments in Nova Scotia. Check it out!

In the NFLD Liberal’s 2021 platform they stated: “The Furey Government will increase access to fertility treatments in the province, working with stakeholders to enable IVF services in Newfoundland and Labrador.” Will they keep their fertility promises?

Did you know fertility issues impact mental health? Numerous studies show stress, depression, and anxiety are common in people struggling with fertility. Having funding available for fertility patients would help ease some stress and reduce the stigma around fertility treatments.
ELECTION UPDATE: We’ve heard from multiple candidates that the Liberal Party will NOT be putting fertility funding in their platform. However, they say they will engage with stakeholders to develop a plan that works for both patients and care providers.
This Thursday, CTV is hosting a leader's round table for the Nova Scotia election. Submit your questions about fertility, and then tune in at 6:30 p.m. to hear from the leaders.
Only five provinces in Canada offer public funding for fertility treatments. We are working hard to change that and know it's possible with your help! #nspoli
We’re happy to see the Green Party of Nova Scotia has put fertility in their platform! They want to see inclusive and universal access to fertility services. #nspoli
These 155,000 people have parents of their own who long to be grandparents & friends who have watched them struggle. Imagine if these people stood up to ask politicians what they plan to do to support these people. Imagine if all 155,000+ cast their vote with fertility in mind.
We're 21 days away from the Nova Scotia Provincial Election! Keep the momentum going and make sure your candidates know that their stance on fertility access and funding is important to YOU. #nspoli
#ICYMI: We were so happy to be part of this story! Give it a read and keep writing those letters. Your voices are being heard! #nspoli
