Due to a scheduling conflict, the next Yarmouth Local 83 information meeting has been moved up one week to Wednesday, November 29 for this month only. Regular time of 6 p.m. at the Rodd Grand Yarmouth.

In response to the questions we have been receiving about the Digby Local 83 information meetings, we will be holding a meeting in Digby (Coastal Inn, 111 Warwick St.) on Thursday, November 30 at 6 p.m. to discuss plans for the information meetings going forward.

A token of appreciation will be given to each member in attendance at these meetings.

We hope you can attend either of these two important meetings.

In solidarity,

Scott Keeping
ACRC Regional Manager, Nova Scotia and PEI

I would like to share the results regarding two important votes that were announced at the Local 83 regular monthly meeting on November 7, 2017.

Local 83 membership voted 89-6 in favour of staying with the Mainland Nova Scotia Building Trades.

Also at the meeting, the shareholders of the Local 83 Building Company Ltd. voted 24-8 in favour of investing a portion of Local 83 Building Company Ltd. funds towards required renovations at 1000 Sackville Drive.
