Aquaculture Jobs Set To Move Into Shelburne

Government employees within the province's aquaculture division will move to Shelburne early in the new year. The move will bring about 15 full time jobs to the area. The aquaculture offices will be located at the Nova Scotia Community College's Shelburne campus. Fisheries Minister Sterling Belliveau says using available space at NSCC is a responsible use of taxpayers' money and will encourage greater collaboration between the department and the college. Premier Darrell Dexter announced in May that the province would relocate its aquaculture division from Halifax to Shelburne County. Another 22 positions along with headquarters is moving to the Digby area.
