Our 2022 #BFYStudents are working hard this summer gaining experience in construction trades. We've been dropping in for site visits over the last month, so follow along as we catch up with this year's cohort! Pictured here is Tyrone alongside his mentor at Graves Electrical.

#BFYStudents have the chance to explore construction and the trades in a paid summer placement through the BFY program. Looks like Eli has had the chance to experience some impressive builds one his placement with Cover Island Boatworks.

#BFYStudents // Marisa has been hard at work learning from the folks at Parsons ICF Construction during her BFY placement this summer! (And that doesn't look like a bad view for a summer job!)

NOTICE // Due to the aftermath of Hurricane Fiona, we have made the difficult decision to cancel BFY Day, scheduled in-person for Thursday, Sept 29 at the CANS office. Watch for more updates about an alternative ceremony to celebrate our 2022 BFY alumni and host employers.

#BFYStudents // It's hard to believe that fall is already here — 200 hours working on a construction site can make the time fly! Our students picked up valuable experience and knowledge from our host employers like Glass Brothers, who Joshua (pictured) worked with this summer.

#BFYStudents // Check out Skye and Victor, who both worked for Dexter this summer. Did you know? Over the years, Dexter has hosted more BFY Students (40+) than any other Host Employer — thank you for supporting and developing the next generation of our industry's workforce!

School is back in session and our #BFYStudents learning environment is a little different than this summer. Check out Dylan on the job with Horton-Boyd earlier this year.

#BFYStudents // Lydia headed to school this summer, but not in the way you'd think! She was busy earning 200 hours working with the facilities maintenance team at NSCC Burridge Campus.

#BFYStudents // Summer placements may be over for BFY, but many thanks are owed to each of our participants, from Host Employers, to teachers, pathways consultants and — of course — our students! Pictured here is Andre with his mentor from AF Theriault.
