The province says they’re helping more people with disabilities.

They submitted the first annual progress report to the N.S. Human Rights Commission.

It’s part of a five-year plan towards a human rights remedy.

Community Services Minister Brendan Maguire says they’re focused on helping people build a life in communities of their own choosing.

“We’ve developed a facility closure strategy to guide the closing of institutions, and a no-new admission policy that will come into effect on January 1, 2025,” said Maguire.

Ninety targets have been identified for the next five years, and the province says they’ve met or made progress on all of them.

They say they’ve reduced wait times by over 13 percent for disability support programs, and helped over 140 transition from institutions to community living.
