Nova Scotia project supports employment equity
Human Rights Commission initiative will replace affirmative action agreements and open dialogue between employers and different communities
The Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission has established an Employment Equity Partnership project. The project creates policies to replace affirmative action agreements set by the Commission throughout the province and work towards eliminating the barriers faced by some members of the workforce.
Under the project, the Commission hopes to encourage more discussion with employers, researchers and diverse communities in the province about employment issues. The project is considered a pilot and will begin working with the Town of Truro.
