There are so many stories of women who have participated in our program that it's hard to choose just one, but about 60% of the women who have participated in our programs are single mothers, so the impact is significant for them but it's huge for their children as well.
It significantly impacts her children, her family, and her community. Our experience has been that women want to stay in Nova Scotia because their kids are here, their families are here, so it's wonderful if they are able to secure employment in this province because they are likely to stay. It's a great opportunity for employers such as Irving to be part of our partnership.
