Immigrant Settlement and Federal Government

federal government: Changes to the way the federal government will fund job training in the provinces led to layoffs Wednesday at a Halifax organization that helps new immigrants, according to The Chronicle Herald. The layoffs are effective at the end of April, though Mills said she hopes discussions between Ottawa and the province may reduce the impact or eliminate the need for cuts altogether and Immigrant Settlement and Integration Services gave layoff notices to 19 of its 120 employees, director of operations Gerry Mills said Thursday.
