In celebration of African Heritage Month the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the Y- NS Works Employment Centre are holding an information session for Black and African Nova Scotians about becoming a Border Services Officer. The CBSA is committed to ensuring our workforce represents the people we serve.

The history of African Nova Scotians reaches back to the early founding years of the province. Many of today’s communities can trace their origins to centuries ago - we want to celebrate your history and contributions!
