Question 1

Where is this focus group?

Accepted Answer

We've booked a meeting room at the Ward One Social & Recreation Centre in New Glasgow. The parking lot has accessible spaces, and the building has an access ramp.

Question 2

Can you provide [specific support] so I will be able to participate?

Accepted Answer

The signup form includes a prompt to let us know your accommodations. Whether you are a service dog handler, or need a sign language interpreter, or even just have allergies we need to know about when we're ordering food, please let us know and we'll do our best.

Question 3

Can I bring someone along?

Accepted Answer

All attendees need to be confirmed ahead of time. If you want to encourage eligible peers to attend, please send them the link to this Eventbrite page. If you need to bring a support person, please provide that information in the accommodation section of the signup form.

Question 4

Do I need to register with my real name and contact information?

Accepted Answer

We need enough information to issue your honorarium cheque. If the name you prefer us to use when communicating with you is different from the one recognized by your bank or credit union, please write and let us know at least a week before the event. You'll need to provide an NS mailing address too.

Question 5

Can I just show up without signing up online?

Accepted Answer

No, there is limited space so we need all attendees to RSVP ahead of time. This will also allow us to order refreshments for the entire group. (if seats fill up we'll start a waitlist in case someone has to cancel)

Question 6

Is this the only focus group planned?

Accepted Answer

For Black/African Nova Scotians we are also holding an online session via Zoom, and one in central Halifax at New Horizons. There are additional sessions planned for other equity-deserving groups (e.g. Nova Scotians with disabilities, newcomers, 2SLGBTQIA+, etc.).
