Welcome to the AHB&RSC Web Site

The Atlantic Home Building and Renovation Sector Council is an industry association funded in part by Service Canada’s Labour Market Partnerships program and governed by a private board of directors.  The sector council is responsible for the development of a readily available and skilled work force to meet the needs of the home building and renovation industry in Canada’s four Atlantic Provinces.

The AHB&RSC is currently undertaking a study of the Manufactured Housing Industry in Nova Scotia and Atlantic Canada. If you are visiting our website in order to participate in the survey of manufactured housing companies, please select the following link to be directed to the online survey site.

The Manufactured Housing Study will profile the companies operating in this industry in Atlantic Canada and the products they produce. The report will also assess the unique labour and skill requirements of the industry and identify models for recruitment and training that are currently underway and proposed for the future.

The Industry Training Program for 07/08 is being coordinated and delivered by the Atlantic Home Warranty Program. To learn more about the courses being offered in 07/08 and to reach the new Industry Training Coordinator, Sandy Martin please go to www.ahwp.org.

Please check back regularly, and send along any feedback. Thank you for your interest!

The Atlantic Home Building & Renovation Sector Council has completed three years of research and consultation on the licensing of contractors and the training and certification of carpenters. We now have a plan and a program and we are ready to move forward with legislation and a new licensing commission.
