HOPE Centre and Dial a Ride

HOPE, founded in 1980, is a cross-disability consumer group. We address the needs and concerns of the disabled in Tri County Area. In 1981, during the national year of the disabled, with a grant from community services and money raised ourselves, we opened a drop-in information centre in the rear of the Kinsmen Hall on Hawthorne St. We are now located at 18 Bond St. We are governed by a board of directors, 51% of which have to be disabled. We are incorporated under provisions of the Society Act of Nova Scotia.
