Annual General Meeting & Safety Awards
Thank you for joining our AGM & Safety Awards on May 16, 2024!
During the meeting, the CSNS members approved 16 new and returning directors, with a gender split of 50 per cent. The Board of Directors is comprised of representatives from across the construction industry, reflecting both our founding members and members at large.
“Over the last four years, the Board of Directors set a goal to increase gender diversity and representation on the board. With the approval of our most recent slate of Directors, now 50 per cent of our board members are women,” said Milton Howley, Chair of the Board. “As the construction industry and skilled trades continue to grow and attract more people into the industry, we are proud to have a board with strong female representation.”
News of this outstanding achievement was picked up by On-Site Magazine – Construction Safety Nova Scotia hits milestone and Canadian Occupational Safety – Construction Safety Nova Scotia achieves gender parity.
