Bill 165: Honouring Canadian Armed Forces Members Act

This bill primarily affects Nova Scotia provincial government employees and the facilities they manage — think staff at provincial offices, courthouses, registries, or government service centres. If you work in one of these settings, you'll need to be aware that turning away or restricting a military member or veteran in uniform is no longer permitted. The bill does not directly regulate private businesses, so most small business owners, contractors, or employers outside the provincial government sphere won't feel any day-to-day change. The impact is essentially on front-line public servants and supervisors in government-run spaces who set access or dress-code policies.
