The Saint John Region Chamber of Commerce is partnering with USTATION and the provincial government on a pilot program that aims to attract workers with jobs to the region.
The program, named “Workcation,” offers workers with remote jobs to experience living in Saint John with the hopes of convincing them to stay in the area.
“The pandemic has shown everyone how vulnerable we are,” said David Duplisea, CEO of the Chamber. “This is the perfect time for us to get out there. The whole province itself is a wonderful attraction for people trying to get out of the large cities and into the smaller cities that have a somewhat urban lifestyle. We play that card very well in terms of the work-life balance that you can have here in the Saint John region.”
