About the CES-NS Chapter

Welcome to the Nova Scotia Chapter of the Canadian Evaluation Society!

Our Chapter is committed to raising the profile of evaluation within Nova Scotia and to building the capacity of our membership. We provide professional development and networking opportunities for our members and others who are interested in learning more about program evaluation and the impact it can have on their organizations. We also provide a link to CES National.

We would like to hear from members about what professional development and networking opportunities they would like to see. Please e-mail us at admin@cesns.ca with your suggestions, or to find out more about chapter activities.
