GEO Nova Scotia’s programs have connected nearly 2,500 households to the internet and distributed over 4,000 devices, and none of it would be possible without our network of over 100 Referral Partner organizations and their incredible teams who work alongside some of Nova Scotia’s most vulnerable residents.
The GEO Referral Agent of the Year honours individuals who serve as Referral Agents for the GEO Connects Program. With over 250 Referral Agents across the province, these individuals stand out for the way they exemplify the goals and values of GEO Nova Scotia and serve their program participants with incredible care and compassion.
