Indigenous Wage Subsidy Initiative
The Indigenous Wage Subsidy Initiative will connect Indigenous job seekers (age 15 and up) residing in Nova Scotia with qualifying positions in the clean economy in Nova Scotia. Employers can receive a subsidy covering up to 80 per cent of the employee’s salary (up to $10,000, for a maximum period of eight months). The initiative is part of the Indigenous Energy Project, funded by Employment and Social Development Canada in partnership with the Native Council of Nova Scotia (NCNS) and Clean Foundation.

We were proud to support this important work in Atlantic Canada and enjoyed connecting with others at the event.

2moToo bad that the turdeau liberals are making a mockery of Reconciliation and Indigenous entrepreneurship by funneling millions to their own pockets and to the bank accounts of their rich elite supporters. This money should have gone to legitimate Indigenous companies. That would benefit all canadians. https://apple.news/AyeqHA_2mQ_eMQjgn5nDWNQ
