History of CANS

The Camping Associations of Nova Scotia (CANS) was established in 1941 in partnership with other provincial, national, and international groups as a non-profit organization. CANS consists of people interested in the improvement of residential camping and strive to ensure that the experience that children of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island enjoy is fun, safe, and enriching.
