The Canada Infrastructure Bank has issued a $97 million loan to support Wedgeport Wind, a new wind energy project in Nova Scotia. The project will include the construction of 12 wind turbines capable of generating up to 84 megawatts of renewable energy. It aims to provide clean and affordable power to over 30,000 homes and businesses and will create job opportunities during and after construction. This initiative is part of a larger effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and strengthen the regional power grid with sustainable energy solutions.

Build Nova Scotia announced the completion of the blasting phase at the QEII Halifax Infirmary construction site for the new acute care tower. The project now moves to mechanically breaking rocks near the existing hospital, which is a noisy but necessary step. The new tower, on track to open in 2031, will offer expanded facilities such as 216 beds, a larger emergency department, and advanced diagnostic units. The project is part of the QEII Health Sciences Centre Redevelopment, ranked as one of Canada's top infrastructure projects.

The Halifax Infirmary Expansion Project has reached a significant milestone with the arrival of the first two of four tower cranes at the construction site. This project involves building a new acute care tower at the QEII Health Sciences Centre, providing 216 acute care beds and an expanded emergency department. The construction of this major healthcare infrastructure is expected to be completed by 2030, with the facility becoming operational in 2031. This development is part of a broader effort to meet the healthcare needs of Nova Scotians and Atlantic Canadians.
