Learn More About Northwood
Created in 1962 by our visionary leader, Ed Roach, Northwood had its roots in social justice – and became the first, affordable housing association in Nova Scotia. Today, Northwood remains the largest, non-profit leader in continuing care East of Montreal – touching the lives of over 7,000 Nova Scotians every day.

Northwood’s visionary leader, Ed Roach, believed in creating a community where people lived with belonging, dignity and choice. Ed partnered with business leaders who believed in his vision and established Northwood in 1962 – the first affordable housing community in Nova Scotia.
In 1979, the Northwood Foundation was established with the aim of embodying Ed Roach’s principles and generating funds for the benefit of Northwood’s residents and tenants through various fundraising initiatives.
