Good afternoon, honourable members and fellow presenters.
My name is Elly Danica, and I am an older worker transition consultant and an older worker. For the past three years I've been working for the Acadia Centre for Small Business and Entrepreneurship in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, which has been actively involved in facilitating support for older workers in this province.
In partnership with the Nova Scotia Department of Education and Service Canada, several initiatives were completed with the goal to help older workers, aged 55 to 64, re-enter the workforce and maintain their jobs.
