Work continues on CANS designated Gold Seal Project – The Glace Bay Police Station. This project, awarded to Lindsay Construction, is one of two active Gold Seal Projects in the province. 

After carefully considering all ongoing developments and public health recommendations regarding COVID-19 in Nova Scotia, we regret to announce the remaining stages of the 2020 BFY program are cancelled. This includes Construction Safety Awareness Training at NSCC and all BFY summer co-op work placements.

The Construction Association of Nova Scotia and all program partners prioritize safety above all else, and while we are disappointed, we are confident the correct decision has been made in the interest of students, families, teachers, host employers and all NS communities. 

If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Morgan Dalrymple – BFY Program Lead at  mdalrymple@cans.ns.ca or 902-817-5214.
