The principles of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Nova Scotia Human Rights Act, and the Nova Scotia Regional Centres for Education/CSAP’s policies on Race Relations, Cross Cultural Understanding and Human Rights will be important considerations for employment. The Nova Scotia Regional Centres for Education/CSAP are committed to employment equity and have individual processes to meet equitable hiring.
