Help Support Atlantic Canada’s Net-Zero Building Workforce – Survey Open Until October 31 

Building to Zero Exchange (BTZx) is developing a comprehensive Workforce Readiness Roadmap to support Atlantic Canada’s transition to net-zero new construction and deep retrofitting. To help guide this important work, we’re launching a short survey to gather input from key voices across the region including front-line workers, supervisors, employers, and business owners.

Conducted in collaboration with Davis Pier Consulting, the survey will inform the roadmap by combining research and data with real experiences from across the building sector. Your insights will help shape strategies to strengthen the workforce and drive a just, inclusive, and climate-resilient transition in the region.

About the Survey:

  • Who it’s for: Job seekers, workers, employers, and others in the building and retrofit sectors
  • Purpose: Strengthen the region’s capacity to deliver net-zero buildings that improve both the environment and the economy
  • Time commitment: 15–30 minutes
  • Deadline: October 31, 2025
  • All responses are anonymous unless you choose to share your contact details for follow-up.
  • Details on privacy, terminology, and eligibility are included in the first three pages of the survey. 

Why Participate?

  • Have Your Voice Heard: Your experience matters. By participating, you’ll help ensure that workforce strategies are grounded in the real needs and priorities of people on the ground not just policy makers.
  • Shape Real Solutions: Your input will directly influence future training programs, resource development, and funding priorities. This is your chance to influence the direction of building sector policy in Atlantic Canada.
  • Win a Gift Card: As a small thank you, all participants can enter a draw to win one of two gift cards.

This project is funded by The Province of Nova Scotia, with survey support from The ReCover Initiative, whose mission is to accelerate deep retrofits across Atlantic Canada.
