Our life here on earth is brief and we're here for service. This should give us a sense of urgency and should not be done so that we're celebrated. The one compliment we need at the end of our service is "Well done good and faithful servant"

Many of the solutions to our challenges require a stronger skilled workforce. That's why our PC Government is returning the provincial income tax paid on the first $50,000 to Nova Scotians under 30 in trades, nursing, film production, and more.

This #NationalNursingWeek, we'd like to thank all of the amazing nurses around the world for taking care of us.

With global labour shortages in hospitals, we need to send our healthcare system more reinforcements. Many refugees are nurses willing & able to help.

@BahatiErnestine Bahati hopes her film will “give hope to refugees that there is indeed a light at the end of the tunnel while also showing policymakers the potential and possibilities behind the barriers refugees have to face.”

@BahatiErnestine "Bahati" is a short animated documentary film about a former Rwandan refugee’s journey from Kenya to Canada, narrated by Bahati herself.

She joined Harun Tuna & Leila Shifteh (co-directors) and Rema Jamous Imseis, UNHCR Rep in Canada, for a Q&A about forced displacement.
