Half of Canada now has legislation for naturopathic doctors! This spring the province of Nova Scotia passed an act legislating the practice of naturopathic medicine.

The act will help standardize educational criteria and make it easier for patients to receive coverage from their extended health plans. Nova Scotia joins British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario with acts; legislation is pending in Alberta.
