Call for Nominations: CNSA Treasurer and CNSA Secretary

The Council of Nova Scotia Archives is looking for new members to fill upcoming vacancies on the Executive Committee. If you have ever felt like you wanted to get involved, now is a great time. The Executive Committee meets once a month on a Friday morning, and for the past three years, these meetings have been entirely virtual. We anticipate they will remain virtual for the foreseeable future.
