September Release: Nova Scotia and Inter-Provincial Migration

september release: The good news comes from Statistics Canada's September release regarding inter-provincial migration, according to The Chronicle Herald. For some time now, we have been paying close attention to the numbers of young people age 20 to 29 moving between Nova Scotia and the other Canadian provinces. Today I feel obligated to remind every business in Halifax and Nova Scotia of the importance and advantages of the AIP, to help with hiring new immigrants which will strengthen their workforce. At this time last year, we were very encouraged by the news that the number had improved from a recent average of a net loss of 1,500 to a net loss of 1,000. That's 500 more wage-earners, consumers, and taxpayers to help propel the provincial economy. There were still 1,000 more young people leaving Nova Scotia for Ontario, Alberta, and elsewhere, than were coming here from other provinces, but a net improvement of 500 was significant.
