Meaningful participation drives meaningful outcomes 

Through our partnership with Nova Scotia’s Disability Support Program, we engaged with people living with disabilities to inform the work to create more inclusive community homes across the province. We used a diary study because it created a participatory experience that was tailored to participant’s needs and focused on creating meaningful outcomes for those participants.

Big Ideas. Bigger Impact.

Davis Pier is a social impact agency that solves complex government and social challenges. We work across government, healthcare, and community organizations to drive meaningful outcomes for community members.

We act as translators between government and community. And we bring diverse voices together to co-create sustainable, impactful solutions.

We are known for the strength of those solutions and—perhaps more importantly—for rolling up our sleeves and working in true collaboration with our clients and partners.
