Celebrating 5 years with the NSCDA!

A huge congratulations to Lindsay Guitard and Tara Deveau on five years with the NSCDA!

We’re so grateful for all your hard work, dedication, and the positive energy you bring to the team. 💙

Something new is coming this November!

For the first time in several years, the NSCDA is bringing career development professionals from across Nova Scotia together for one province-wide conference.

From the Field: NSCDA Conference 2026 will take place November 18-19 in Truro. Over two days, participants will connect with colleagues, explore innovative practices, share ideas, celebrate the profession, and recognize the outstanding work happening across the province.

Save the date and stay tuned for registration, our call for presenters, and more conference details.

We invite all NSCDA members to join us for the NSCDA Annual General Virtual Meeting 2026 on September 24th from 2:00-4:00 p.m. AT.

This is your opportunity to hear about the work NSCDA has accomplished over the past year, learn about upcoming initiatives, and get a preview of what’s ahead. We encourage all members to attend, ask questions, and be part of the conversation.
