On The Move
Beginning in the new year there are a number of reassignments that will be taking place within Communications Nova Scotia.
First of all, congratulations to our own Natalie Webster who is taking on a new assignment with the Public Service Commission. Natalie will be making the transition through January and I know we will sincerely miss her many talents. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Natalie for everything she has done to contribute to the departments' achievements over the past number of years. I know that her energy and capacity to work will serve her well in her new position. On behalf of everyone in the Departments of Agriculture and Fisheries & Aquaculture, I want to congratulate her on her appointment and wish her every success.
Second, please join me in welcoming Celeste Sulliman as our new Communications Director. Celeste is moving from the Department of Seniors to Agriculture, and Fisheries and Aquaculture and is looking forward to the challenges ahead in her new assignment.
