Heritage Carpentry [Nova Scotia Community College, NSCC]

The demand for carpenters is rapidly growing, and the need for special skills in the area of restoration and renovation is growing even faster. After learning the basic skills for carpentry, you learn the unique skills required for the more rigorous tasks used in renovations and the preservation of historic buildings – for example, how to use recycled materials and frame a roof without using pre-made trusses. Quality and craftsmanship are the cornerstones of the program.
