Layoff Event History

March 2026

jobs cut

Nova Scotia

The Nova Scotia government cut $1.05 million in funding for Eight Early Years Professional Support sites, resulting in the closure of these in-person professional development workshops for early childhood educators. Seven staff members at NSCC campuses and one coordinator position at Jane Norman College were impacted by these budget cuts.

February 2026

The Nova Scotia government's 2026 budget includes more than $300 million in cuts affecting approximately 1,000 full-time equivalent jobs across the civil service and broader public sector. The cuts target management and administration roles rather than front-line services, with job reductions to be achieved by January 2027, with the Justice and Social Development departments expected to take the biggest hit.
