As the membership is aware we are in dire need up updating our legislation. Our Association needs the Barbers of Nova Scotia to unite and work forward to the development of the industry.
One of the things that we are working on is our Occupational Standard, which you can find under the Policies heading, it is a rough draft of what it is supposed to be. We are looking for your opinions and criticisms to help develop the standard. If there is anything at all that you think we should add or just your opinion, please feel free to send an email to president@nsbarbers.ca This is just one step towards making our association what it is meant to be.
If you have any questions about registration or the status of an application please contact registrar@nsbarbers.ca
