Thanks for attending CANS 2026 Construction Job Fair!
On Wednesday, February 4, the Construction Association of Nova Scotia (CANS) kicked off its first event of the year with the CANS Construction Job Fair — and we’re proud to say it was a tremendous success.
More than 1,300 job seekers registered, including students in construction programs, recent graduates, newcomers to Nova Scotia, and many new Canadians. It was a busy, productive day for employers and attendees alike, and we look forward to hearing the success stories that emerge from the connections made. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped support the continued growth of the construction industry.
