LLL of Nova Scotia was founded in ____.

Karen Pearce (Pioneer) ~ In starting the first Group in Nova Scotia, it was a case of being in the right place at the right time. The first meeting I led was the first I had attended, and there were 41 mothers and 9 babies present. The second meeting we had 58 mothers and 20 babies—most of the babies in car beds—remember them? We were meeting in a private home, so after that I held two meetings a month—one in each city—Dartmouth, and across the harbour in Halifax—until a second Leader was accredited. There were many wonderful women helping. It was a fun and busy time, and neither the medical profession nor the media knew what to make of us. In a very few years we had 13 Leaders come out of the Dartmouth Group; 13 others came here for Applicant previews, and many others began in this Group and moved elsewhere. The organization experienced fast growth, and it was an exhilarating time.
