Welcome to IODE Nova Scotia

IODE Canada is a national women's charitable organization. Women of all ages, from all walks of life and educational backgrounds, meet in local chapters for fun, friendship and community volunteerism.

IODE 

Members volunteer with and for people, focusing on Children, Education and Community Services. Each IODE chapter has the independence to choose and support projects in their own neighbourhood along with supporting projects at the Provincial and National levels. If you have just a few hours to spare monthly, you can make a difference and form lifelong friendships.

IODE membership is many things to many people. It is this diversification that holds the interest of the members and attracts others to it. What other organization has so much to offer to so many and in such different age groups?

The main benefit of belonging to IODE is being part of a like-minded group of women who work together to improve the quality of life for those in need. IODE is a national women's charitable organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for individuals, through education support, community service and citizenship programs.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS  by  John McCrae

​In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the Crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead.  Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders Fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe;
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders Fields.

​Our Future from Coast to Coast to Coast  is the theme for the combined annual meetings of IODE Canada and IODE Nova Scotia being held from Wednesday 2 June to Friday 4 June, 2021 in Sydney, Cape Breton. The success of combining provincial and national annual meeting since 2017 provides opportunity for all members to learn more about chapters in other provinces while attending the National meeting.

​                                 Membertou is our host city for this special event. 
      We thank IODE Nova Scotia chapters in Cape Breton for hosting the meeting.
