Dust control is not just about keeping a jobsite clean; it is about keeping lungsquatters out of your body permanently.

The damage from crystalline silica dust is irreversible, but is preventable with simple work practices like wet cutting methods, dust collection systems, and proper PPE.

Nova Scotia's road network is far more than pavement and bridges. It is a strategic economic asset that drives the province's prosperity.

From moving exports and supporting tourism to connecting rural communities and enabling emergency services, roads are fundamental to economic growth and quality of life.

Every sector of the economy depends on transportation. Road infrastructure should be viewed not simply as an expenditure, but as an investment in Nova Scotia's future competitiveness.

Roads are not simply transportation infrastructure, they are the backbone of Nova Scotia's economy. Every major industry, every community, and virtually every resident depends on a safe, reliable and resilient road network every day.
Nova Scotia's economy is uniquely dependent on its road transportation system. Unlike larger provinces with extensive rail freight networks or multiple metropolitan centres, Nova Scotia's communities, industries, and export gateways are connected primarily by highways and roads.
This network of roads is one of the largest public infrastructure assets owned by the Government of Nova Scotia. It links more than 1 million residents, supports businesses in every county, and provides access to ports, airports, industrial parks, hospitals, schools and tourism destinations. For Nova Scotia, roads are essential infrastructure that enables economic growth, public safety and social well-being.

The Nova Scotia Road Builders Association held its Annual Ron Legere Memorial golf tournament earlier this month at the Truro Golf Club.
Once again, the tournament was sold out with 148 golfers enjoying a sunny day on the course.
All proceeds from the event are donated to charity with an additional $1,600 raised by the Turkey Club on its Hole-In-One Challenge.
Congratulations to our top team including Connor McInnis, Wolseley; Keaton Hicks, Algonquin Bridge; Sean Casey and Tariq Karaballi, ADS.
We have many people and organizations to thank for making the tournament a successful event every year:
First, thank you to our member Rylan MacDow for being the key organizer and keeping things running smoothly, along with all the volunteers that pitched in.
Thanks to the Truro Golf Club for the amazing condition of the course and their always professional and courteous staff that go above and beyond to make the day a great one.
Thank you to the Fisherman’s Market for their high quality lobsters that were served after the event and to Power Promotions for the golfer giveaways, which are always very high quality and well received by all the golf players.

Today marks the 10th Canadian Injury Prevention Day, an initiative led by Parachute Canada.

This day recognizes the importance of injury prevention and the role we all play in building safer workplaces and communities.

In construction, prevention starts long before boots hit the ground. Through planning, proactive hazard identification, safe work practices, and looking out for one another, we can reduce risks and help ensure everyone goes home safe at the end of every shift.

By making safety a priority every day, we can help prevent injuries before they happen.

Road constructions crews work to give us safe roads. Give them a safe place to work.
When you drive through a work zone, slow down, and keep your eyes open. Let’s make sure everyone gets to go home at the end of the day.
