Amanda Penney is leading with purpose— blending inclusion, wellness and courageous leadership.
Named the 2025 CANS Community Leader Award recipient, from Penney’s work advancing people‑centred culture at Lindsay Construction to championing grassroots and province‑wide initiatives, she creates opportunities for individuals and communities across Nova Scotia to thrive.
Susan Conrad reshaped construction leadership in Nova Scotia—one project, and one person, at a time.
Honoured posthumously with the 2025 CANS Trailblazer Award, Conrad broke barriers in a male‑dominated industry. Her legacy lives on in the projects she mastered, the standards she set and the careers she helped launch—proving that preparation, integrity and respect redefine what leadership looks like in construction.
Eastward Energy is setting the standard for safety‑first leadership in Nova Scotia’s energy sector.
As the 2025 recipient of the CANS Workplace Leader in Safety award, the organization is driving innovation. From modern safety technologies to inclusive workplace practices, Eastward is proving that safety, innovation and community go hand in hand.
