Governance review

Mission of the project

The Fire Services Association of Nova Scotia (FSANS), in collaboration with the Departments of

Emergency Management and Municipal Affairs has hired 

Transitional Solutions Inc. (TSI) to provide a province-wide governance review to

improve the coordination, sustainability, and effectiveness of fire and associated services. This review is

both timely and essential. As Nova Scotia faces increasing climate-related emergencies, complex

governance structures, and rising demands on both career and volunteer fire services, there is a critical

need to develop a modern governance framework that is collaborative, community-grounded, and

adaptable to future risks.
