Nova Scotia Unifies Job Support for All | Calgary News

Nova Scotia is overhauling job support for income assistance recipients—starting next month, everyone ready to work will be steered to Nova Scotia Works, the province’s unified, free employment network. This move shuts down the separate income assistance employment service, aiming to eliminate confusion, reduce stigma, and create a level playing field. While 75–85 full-time roles are at risk, officials plan to minimize layoffs by filling vacancies first and encouraging voluntary exits. The goal? A smoother, more accessible system where all Nova Scotians get equal access to job support through one trusted network.
