Annual General Meeting & Safety Awards
Every year, Construction Safety Nova Scotia celebrates the achievements of its member firms and reviews the association’s accomplishments and priorities at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Awards Ceremony. This important gathering brings members together to elect new board members, share insights on improving safety in our industry, and connect over lunch and networking opportunities. Thank you to everyone who joined us at this year’s event—we look forward to seeing you again next year!
