Mandate: The Women's Institutes of Nova Scotia continue to provide opportunities to enhance the quality of life, through education and personal development, allowing us to meet the changing needs of our local and global communities. 
 
Vision: "Learning, sharing and improving the quality of life for all." 
 
Motto: "For Home and Country" 
 
These four words outline the purpose of the organization. "Home" is the first priority, assisting women to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to meet the demands of home, family and work. 
 
"Country" starts with the community of which the organization forms a part, and extends throughout the nation and into the international field.
