About us

Formed in 1993 as the Wolfville Community Mediation Society with John Star as its founding President, the organization was incorporated pursuant to the Societies Act (Nova Scotia) on February 25th, 1994. A change of name to Valley Community Mediation Society occurred on July 7th, 1996 as our membership and work had spread across the Annapolis Valley. Due to further growth a second name change to Peacemakers An Association for Alternative Dispute Resolution took place on August 17th, 2000. The next decade saw the group involved in numerous mediations, workshops and training sessions as well as public education. For over 20 years we have been mediating disputes for people and organizations and training them to manage conflict themselves. We have helped thousands of people reach a peaceful agreement quickly, confidentially and without the need for formal action.
