The Squash NS Board of Directors and the Sport Nova Scotia Organizational Effectiveness team have been hard at work developing the Squash Nova Scotia strategic plan for 2024-2027. The plan has now been approved and will take effect this year. This strategic plan outlines specific actions that will efficiently allocate resources, time, and effort in order to achieve goals that benefit the NS squash community. You can read the full plan on the Strategic Plan section of our About tab, or by clicking here.
