Notice Regarding Core Training
Updated Oct 8th, 2020
We would like to remind all members that as per the CBA core training must be up to date to accept dispatch. If you have certification that is running out before the spring season of 2021 you should contact the Training department in Saint John to ensure you are eligible for dispatch, the contact number is (506) 634-7389. We want all members to be ready to go when the time comes to go to work.
COVID-19 has made training challenging. It seems that due to lack of registration we are unable to get people arranged through NSCSA provided training sessions in Nova Scotia. We will set up training classes at the union hall with one of our in-house trainers as needed.
