We are so proud of our students and admire their courage and commitment to healthy Nova Scotia communities. Each student brings something unique, but all exude a sense of community connection that was built and nurtured in small-town Nova Scotia beginnings.”

We are so proud to be part of the inaugural class and look forward to welcoming future CBMC students.”
