On November 1, Grade 9 students across Nova Scotia will have the opportunity to participate in Take Our Kids To Work Day. This annual event provides students with the opportunity to witness the world of work firsthand, prompting early career planning, and enabling students to make informed decisions pertaining to their future goals and endeavours.

Human Resources would like to provide employees with some general tips if you are planning on bringing your child to work:

• Any employee looking to bring a dependent to work with them as part of a school organized Take Our Kids To Work Day initiative should receive approval in advance from their supervisor and Department Head.
• Please note that approval cannot be provided in circumstances where:
  • The student would be exposed to conditions which could present a safety risk.
  • The student’s presence would jeopardize requirements around confidentiality.
  • The student’s presence would unreasonably impact the operations of the university.
