The @NSCSC_ICI Trades Exhibition Hall gives students and their teachers an opportunity to get up close and personal with the #construction trades – via @DCN_Canada: https://t.co/qUfMyFMLAU.

[Nova Scotia Construction Sector Council @NSCSC_ICI]

The Trades Exhibition Hall is a one-of-a-kind facility providing youth hands-on learning through tools, activities, and careers in the trades in an interactive learning environment. We’re glad to see other provinces building on this model and helping grow the skilled workforce.

Halifax's Trades Exhibition Hall, run by the @NSCSC_ICI, is expanding to Cape Breton by late 2026. Alberta and B.C. are pursuing similar youth trades-discovery centres.

Supporting mental health starts with access—this Mental Health Week, let’s make resources easier to reach - https://t.co/14WRe6jL4V

[Tim Houston @TimHoustonNS]

Mental Health Week is a time to reflect, check in on one another, and remind ourselves that support is always within reach. Across Nova Scotia, there are services available, from counselling to crisis supports, so no one has to face challenges alone. There is more work to do, and we will continue to build up our mental healthcare system to support all Nova Scotians.

You can find supports at the link. You don't need to face this alone: https://t.co/2Jq5WsZF2U
