Public Service Week, Great People Doing Great Things

Nova Scotia's public servants will be recognized for their contributions during Provincial Public Service Week, Monday Oct. 6 to Sunday, Oct. 12.

Premier Rodney MacDonald kicked-off the week by paying tribute to government employees.

"Everyday, Nova Scotia's civil servants contribute to the prosperity of our province," said Premier MacDonald. "With more than 10,000 civil servants, from health care workers to highway workers, they provide high quality service to keep our families safe, our businesses growing, and our communities thriving every single day."

The public service motto, Great People Doing Great Things, exemplifies the skill, dedication and work that public servants do each and every day. Nova Scotia's public servants are encouraged to take the time and reflect on the contributions they have made to the province over the last year.

"During Provincial Public Service Week, we recognize our hardworking, resourceful, innovative, and dedicated civil servants," said Carolyn Bolivar-Getson, Minister responsible for the Public Service Commission. "It is these men and women who plow our roads, provide our families with the support they need, develop programs for Nova Scotians, and work toward building new business opportunities. We should all be proud of their contributions to our province."
