Annual General Meeting & Safety Awards

Every year, Construction Safety Nova Scotia celebrates the achievements of its member firms and reflects on the association’s accomplishments and priorities at our Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Awards Ceremony.

About the AGM and Awards Ceremony

We invite all members to join us to approve new board members, share ideas on how we can positively impact safety in the construction sector, and connect with industry peers during our half-day AGM, with complimentary snacks and refreshments available throughout the event.

Thank you for joining us!

Together, we celebrated safety excellence, reviewed annual reports and bylaw updates, and heard from an incredible lineup of guest speakers, including:

  • Honourable Minister Nolan Young
  • Karen Adams, CEO, Workers’ Compensation Board
  • Keynote: Denise Waligora from Crisis Ready Workplace

The day also featured an engaging exhibitor showcase, meaningful networking opportunities, and the presentation of our 2026 Safety Awards.

Keynote Resource: Mental Health Literacy

Our keynote speaker, Denise Waligora, delivered an incredibly impactful presentation exploring the vital pillars of an employee’s experience: mental health literacy, psychological safety, and building workplace civility.
As promised, we want to ensure you have these resources ready to implement within your own organization. Download a copy of her presentation slides.
