The Tri-County Women’s Centre was established in 2002

We are a feminist, community-based, anti-racist service that is open to all women and adolescent girls.
We believe that women’s economic and social independence is central to women’s equality.
We work with all people to achieve an equitable and equal world for women and their families.
We respond to the direct needs of women and their families in Digby, Shelburne, and Yarmouth Counties.
