Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) stands out among Atlantic Canadian employers.
According to a study by Hewitt Associates, a global human resources consulting and outsourcing company; NSCC is among the 50 best employers in Canada for 2010. The college is the first educational institution to ever make Hewitt’s list.
One hundred and thirty-four Canadian organizations registered to participate in the study. The results are based on survey responses from more than 108,000 Canadian employees, with additional input from over 1,200 leaders and human resources professionals.

For the second year, local non-profit group JUDES - Just Us! Development and Education Society- is hosting Mexican eco-adventure tours.
The unique experiences take small groups on 10-day trips from Oaxaca into coastal mountain areas, celebrating local peoples and the environment. Visitors can hike, learn more about local culture, including cooking traditional dishes; and even try their hand picking coffee with their community hosts.
JUDES has established a Reciprocity Fund from the proceeds of trips, which will bring members of its Mexican partner community to Canada to share in a cultural exchange.
