The  Scotiabank  Group  Archives  is  an  information  centre  maintained by the
Scotiabank  Group  to  protect, preserve & facilitate the use of permanent-value
records  in  all media. Exercising initiative and judgement in responding to the
frequent  unusual  situations  that  arise in a research facility, the candidate

aids to RAD standards.
