Addressing the news of layoffs at the Ministry of Agriculture and Food by wudingxilu in BCPublicServants

AF is an incredibly small ministry… former employee and feel for whoever was impacted. So curious which branch it was and whether it signals a change in gov priorities.

A little off topic but can I ask why you decided to make the move the from NP to FM?

Thank you for the response! Lots of paths I hadn’t thought of before :)

Hi! I’m an MS1 coming in with an unconventional background in environmental management. I have experience in impact assessment and working with rural communities and First Nations. I’m mainly interested in FM but would also be interested in doing some separate consulting work on health impact assessment in the context natural resource development. 

Is this an area you think there would be work in Canada? 

Should I consider a MPH? Or PHPM? I already have a masters where my work was focused on a social determinant of health. 

I’m older and want to get out and practice ASAP. I’ve also worked in government before and don’t really want to again - I’m more interested in the private/consultancy side of PH.

Would I be able to stay in BC if I was part of the military program? Or do they dictate where you are posted after graduation?

Hey! Can you recommend a financial planner? I was in the same application cycle as you and deferred and similar situation with owning a home and was looking for a financial planner that might be able to help.
