A planned event to connect students with local jobs was cancelled today, March 4, 2026, after E.B. Chandler Junior High in Amherst, Nova Scotia, closed for a storm day. The Cumberland Business Connector was set to host an informational table at the school to help students learn about career paths in the region.
The event was meant to run from 10:50 AM to 12:30 PM according to the school calendar. This initiative was designed to give youth a chance to talk with professionals about local business programs and future work opportunities within their own community.
The Cumberland Business Connector is a non-profit group that works to grow the local economy and support businesses. They act as a link between the local business community and regional resources to help the area thrive.
However, the school website confirmed that all operations were cancelled for the day because of the weather. Information regarding a new date for the event has not yet been released.
