Though Nova Scotia is the second smallest province in Canada, it has one of Canada’s fastest-growing economies. This is due, in part, to a strong small-business sector that is dependent on its fishing, mining and forestry industries. Each of these three industries is recognized by authorities to pose asbestos-related health dangers to workers.

Canadian Minister Chuck Strahl is a high-profile example of the asbestos threat in the forestry industry. Diagnosed in 2005 with the signature asbestos-related cancer mesothelioma, the former logging contractor spent years inhaling asbestos brake dust from heavy logging equipment.

With such fast economic growth in the province comes an active construction industry, unfortunately another Canadian sector that is plagued by materials made from asbestos, especially U.S.-made asbestos insulation. The situation is exacerbated by the fact that Canada has fewer regulations governing the use of asbestos than the United States.

To maintain the safety of residents’ homes, the Nova Scotia government established an asbestos management program for 100 public housing units in Sydney. For homes that have already been built in the province, the government’s policy is to leave vermiculite insulation with asbestos in place. Most jurisdictions in Canada have chosen similar options.
