Hi! 👋 I’m Gina, and I live in Cape Breton South. People from our local area came together to form Cape Breton South Recruiting for Health, which is a non-profit community organization that aims to attract and retain healthcare professionals. I’m the Program Director and the main contact.
My friend Tod, who you might know from the Internet, and his lovely wife, Jocelyn, started a movement to invite American healthcare workers to Canada, and hundreds have jumped on board with curiosity and enthusiasm.
Now, several others - including us! - have joined the movement in trying to attract healthcare workers to our own regions of Canada.
We’re not a government program or a recruiting agency. We’re a community organization made up of regular people: neighbours, families, and local volunteers who believe that great care begins with belonging.
Where are we, exactly? Right here.👇


There is a reason why Cape Breton Island was crowned:
🏆#1 Island in Canada (Travel + Leisure Magazine) 🏆#1 Island in North America (Condé Naste Travel Magazine) 🏆#3 Island in the World (Travel + Leisure Magazine)
It really is a beautiful, vibrant, safe, amazing place to live and work.

In Canada, diversity isn't just tolerated — it's celebrated.
You can marry who you love, practice your faith, and express yourself without fear.
Our public healthcare system ensures that no one goes bankrupt from a broken leg or a chronic condition.
And our political climate, while imperfect, remains rooted in civility and a general sense of decency.
(Also, we believe in vaccines and science.)
If you’re looking for a place where your rights matter, where your kids can grow up safe, and where compassion still has a seat at the table — come north.
If you’re looking for a peaceful, simple life in one of the most beautiful places in the country — come to Cape Breton South.
