Since 2021, the Diocese of Nova Scotia & PEI has been a leader across our national to church in the Say! Yes to Kids campaign, and we hope that will continue in 2027! Through this campaign, more than $70,000 has been invested in programs for children, youth, and families in our diocese over the past 7 years.
Details of the campaign for 2027 should be available early in the new year - stay tuned for that!

As a diocese, we are extremely excited about the opportunity that we have in Say Yes to Kids 2026 to raise funds for ministry for children and youth in our parishes. We are working away on opportunities and resources to support parishes as they explore possibilities and dream about what might happen, and we will post details here and in the NetNews as details come together.
For now, you will find more information about Say Yes to Kids on the Anglican Foundation website, here.
