People: Nova Scotia and Job Market

people: ISANS is open to people of all ages who are officially new to Canada and living in Nova Scotia, including temporary foreign workers, according to The Chronicle Herald. For decades, people have walked through the doors of ISANS often navigating a new language, new geography, new job market and a host of other hitches impeding settlement. A community where all can belong and grow is the vision of ISANS Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia . ISANS staff and volunteers serve this mission by welcoming newcomers to HRM and acquainting them with opportunities to make contacts and forge connections in their newfound communities. ISANS and its band of volunteers deliver programs to assist with settlement, learning English, starting a business or searching for employment. SupperNOVA, for example, is a potluck held in Clayton Park three to four times per year. According to Denise Scott, team lead for the volunteer program at ISANS, the organization offers a diverse and flexible lineup of volunteer jobs, all working with individuals and families new to Nova Scotia.
