- Over 140 members provide financial support to the UOMA NS network consisting of more than 570 collection facilities throughout Nova Scotia.
- UOMA NS is managed by a Board of Directors elected or designated, from among the members with or without the right to vote, as stipulated in the General By-Laws.
