PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY
What you need to know
The Service Dog Act in Nova Scotia allows people to take their service dogs into public places, such as restaurants and stores, without being asked to leave. It also protects people from being charged with trespassing or disturbing the peace when they're with their service dogs. This means that service dogs are treated as working animals, not pets, and their owners have more freedom to go about their daily lives with their assistance animals.
