Nova Scotia incorporates new electrical contractor association
February 28, 2009
The word is officially out: on August 1, 2008, the Province of Nova Scotia incorporated the Nova Scotia Electrical Contractors Association (NSECA), a new group that aims to act as the voice of both non-union and union electrical contractors in the province.
“With
all the issues facing electrical contracting professionals—including
contractor licensing—there’s never been a greater need for an
association of electrical contractors for
electrical contractors to stand up for our interests and concerns,”
said Colin Campbell, president of NSECA, and owner of the electrical
contracting firm CM Campbell Electric Limited.
To get the association up and running, NSECA has called a General Meeting at noon, March 26, at Eddy Supply, Bayers Lake Industrial Park (31 Oland Crescent in Halifax), where common interests and goals will be discussed, followed by work on a strategic plan.
“Many of our peers in other provinces—British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick—already belong to established electrical contractor associations,” notes Campbell, adding. “It’s time Nova Scotia’s electrical contractors also made their voices heard and, to do that, we need to speak with a united voice! I invite and encourage every electrical contractor in Nova Scotia—regardless of size—to attend and become members.”
Affiliated industry professionals, such as distributors, suppliers, inspectors, etc., are also encouraged to participate in NSECA’s activities.
