Fonds · 1975-2006
Consists of the records of the Nova Scotia Advisory Council on the Status of Women, detailing the principle actions and responsibilities of the Council, and documenting the administration of the Status of Women Act, as well as other aspects of the Council's mandate. The Council was created to educate the public on women's issues in Nova Scotia and to advise the provincial government (particularly the Minister in charge of the Act) on issues of interest and concern to women in the province. These actions are documented principally through minutes, correspondence, briefing materials, and specific project files. In forwarding its mandate, the Council often worked closely with other bodies to tackle women’s issues and promote solutions more broadly and on a larger scale. Fonds contain meeting minutes and proceedings from Federal-Provincial-Territorial Ministers' meetings and conferences for issues on a national scale, and with Atlantic Ministers Responsible for the Status of Women for regional issues. It should be mentioned that during the early years of the Council, its functions often overlapped with those of other government advisory bodies, particularly those of Interdepartmental Committee on Women’s Issues and the Women’s Directorate. Occasionally records of both of these bodies appear. As a whole, the records explore the founding, activities, decisions, and development of the Council. These records offer excellent insight into the Nova Scotia Government's strategies in building and strengthening women's roles in the province.In forwarding its mandate, the Council often worked closely with other bodies to tackle women’s issues and promote solutions more broadly and on a larger scale.
