| The government of Nova Scotia's data centre has experienced a lot of growth over the last few years, but continued to use the same team and resources to manage the information technology (IT) infrastructure, which led to an overworked IT staff and shortages of storage space.

Every day, 12 million Ontarians are affected by the work of Ontario Public Service (OPS) employees. As Canada's most populous province, Ontario offers more than 60,000 public service careers, including civil engineering, public safety and protection and legal and medical roles. Since early this year, OPS has been trying to find young professionals to replace its aging workforce by actively publicizing some of its open positions through an interactive career recruitment centre called OPS Careers Island in the virtual world of Second Life. |
