The province is investing in Aboriginal business studies in Nova Scotia to support job growth and development.

“The province is helping to ensure that our Aboriginal students can take full advantage of the opportunities flowing from Nova Scotia’s growing economy,” said Deputy Premier Corbett. “This is a unique program and I congratulate Cape Breton University, business leader Joe Shannon and, of course, Purdy Crawford for their work on an initiative that will benefit all of Nova Scotia.”
