The Nova Scotia Student Advocacy Coalition (NSSAC) was a post-secondary education student lobby group in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. It collapsed in 2003 as a result of ideological differences between Canadian Federation of Students and Canadian Alliance of Student Associations schools within the coalition.
The member organizations of NSSAC were:
- Acadia Students' Union
- University College of Cape Breton Students' Union
- Dalhousie Student Union
- St. Francis Xavier University Students' Union
- Saint Mary's University Students' Association
- University of King's College Students' Union
- Mount Saint Vincent University Students' Union
- Student Union of Nova Scotia College of Art and Design
- Association générale des étudiants de l'Université Sainte-Anne

“Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Canada are the horns, the head, the neck, the shins, and the hoof of the ox, and the United States are the ribs, the sirloin, the kidneys, and the rest of the body.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
“I’m a Nova Scotia bluenose. Since I was a baby, I’ve been watching men look at ships. It’s easy to tell the ones they like. You’re only waiting to get her into deep water, aren’t you—because she’s yours.”
—John Rhodes Sturdy, Canadian screenwriter. Richard Rossen. Joyce Cartwright (Ella Raines)
“Adolescents have the right to be themselves. The fact that you were the belle of the ball, the captain of the lacrosse team, the president of your senior class, Phi Beta Kappa, or a political activist doesn’t mean that your teenager will be or should be the same....Likewise, the fact that you were a wallflower, uncoordinated, and a C student shouldn’t mean that you push your child to be everything you were not.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
