ISANS receives $100,000 contribution from TD to strengthen newcomer programs across Nova Scotia

ISANS is pleased to share that TD has contributed $100,000 to support programs that help newcomers build their lives in Nova Scotia. This generous contribution reflects TD’s ongoing commitment to inclusion, opportunity, and community wellbeing, and will make a meaningful difference for individuals and families arriving in our province.

During the announcement, ISANS CEO Paula Knight expressed sincere appreciation for the partnership and the impact it will have across the organization’s programs and services.

“On behalf of ISANS, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to TD for this generous contribution to our work,” she shared. “Your support helps break down barriers for newcomers and ensures individuals and families arriving in Nova Scotia have the opportunity to truly belong and grow.”

The $100,000 contribution will directly enhance a range of essential ISANS programs, including youth and family services, refugee youth support, employment and job placement programs, specialized settlement and financial literacy workshops, mental health resources, and refugee emergency funds. These services play a vital role in helping newcomers navigate their first months and years in Nova Scotia, access the supports they need, and build pathways to long‑term success.

This support also strengthens ISANS’ ability to respond to the evolving needs of newcomers, particularly those arriving as refugees or through humanitarian pathways. With increasing demand for settlement and employment services across the province, the contribution ensures that ISANS can continue offering trusted guidance, culturally responsive programming, and opportunities that help newcomers contribute fully to the social and economic fabric of Nova Scotia.

This contribution highlights the power of strong partnerships in shaping a welcoming province one where newcomers are supported, valued, and able to build their futures with confidence.
