Heart and Stroke Foundation of Nova Scotia
A regional division of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, this nonprofit organization focuses on combating heart disease and stroke within Nova Scotia. Operating under Business Registration Number 119063444RR0001, it leverages national resources while tailoring initiatives to local health needs.
Mission and Activities
The foundation funds research, promotes public education, and advocates for policies to reduce cardiovascular health risks. Its programs emphasize healthy eating, physical activity, and stroke prevention, aligning with national guidelines recommending reduced saturated fat intake and increased consumption of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables[3][4].
Historical Context
As part of a federation of provincial foundations unified under a national structure in 2011, Nova Scotia’s division contributes to a collective effort that has reduced heart disease and stroke mortality rates by over 75% since 1952[5]. The organization collaborates with volunteers and donors to deliver community-based health initiatives and supports clinical research through grants[4][5].
Funding and Reach
While specific financial data for the Nova Scotia branch is not detailed publicly, the national foundation allocated $47 million to programs in 2023, including research grants to institutions like the University of Calgary and Toronto General Hospital[4]. Regional activities likely mirror national priorities, such as addressing risk factors affecting 90% of Canadians[4].
Branding and Public Engagement
Following a 2016 rebrand as Heart & Stroke, the organization adopted modernized branding to enhance engagement, particularly among younger demographics and immigrant communities[3][5]. The Nova Scotia division utilizes this identity to promote localized campaigns and volunteer recruitment[2].

“The doctor told me I had about 25 minutes left to live after I got there. I couldn't believe it." When Paul Goldberg was 50 years old, he had a severe heart attack. But for him, the first few months of cardiac rehabilitation felt almost worse than the heart attack. Read about his unexpected journey to mental well-being: https://bit.ly/4m0xLPm. #BeatHeartDisease #HeartandStrokeBeatAsOne (fb)

It shook me to my core. Ken Wong was a healthy active dad yet he had a stroke. Why. Fund lifesaving research.
