On Wednesday, February 4, CANS kicked off our first event of the year with CANS Construction Job Fair with over 1,300 registered job seekers in attendance.
CANS is currently seeking to fill the role of Director of Marketing & Communications, a key leadership position driving the vision, visibility, and impact of CANS and the construction industry.
February is Black History Month. Join CANS as we celebrate the achievements and contributions of Black Nova Scotians who are building our communities and advancing the construction industry. Throughout the month, and the rest of the year, we’ll honour Black excellence in our industry through profiles of people and businesses and provide tools and resources to help support your organization.
Over the past week we’ve had some new faces join the team and some of our existing team members return back to the office. Please join us in welcoming and congratulating these members of CANS team.
