BackThe Nova Scotia Ombudsman is pleased to publish the Annual Report, available in French and English, which covers the period of April 1 2021 to March 21 2022.
Message from the Ombudsman:
"This Annual Report is my last as Nova Scotia’s Ombudsman. After six years in the position, I have chosen retirement at this point in my career and life. It is one of those unusual milestones that can be simultaneously happy and sad. The Nova Scotia Ombudsman is appointed for a five-year term but can be re-appointed. My first term ended in June of 2021.
I had planned to retire at that point but was asked to accept re-appointment so I could serve at least one more year during a period of major government stresses, most of them COVID-related. My retirement finally took effect on June 30, 2022. Like all major personal and career changes, the accompanying emotions are mixed - optimism about retirement opportunities, sadness at leaving a great public service experience.
My priority for this note is to thank the staff of the Ombudsman’s Office, most of whom have been my colleagues during all my time there. They are a dedicated, diverse, and talented group. Working with them has been a privilege and a pleasure."
