Obtaining meaningful work is something Canadians from coast to coast to coast strive for, Amherst Mayor David Kogon said on Oct. 30, as he declared Nov. 1, 2019, to Nov. 30, 2019 as Canada Career Month in the Town of Amherst.
“We must also take the time to recognize all those that help us obtain those meaningful jobs, such as the local Nova Scotia Works-CANSA office,” Kogon said. “They offer many educational programs and services that benefit people as they seek to find those jobs. I encourage the citizens of Amherst and surrounding area to take advantage of those programs and services as they seek to find meaningful work.”
