Irving Shipbuilding

Today marks the two-year anniversary of the commissioning of HMCS Margaret Brooke. The second of six Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ships built for the Royal Canadian Navy, AOPS #2 is homeported at CFB Halifax. We continue to wish the vessel and crew fair winds, following seas and a safe return home from every mission.

We are proud to congratulate Corey Sargent, Team Lead, Quality Control, on being awarded the Apprenticeship Ally Award of Excellence! Throughout his eight years building ships for Canada, Corey has made exceptional contributions to equity, diversity, and inclusion within the apprenticeship and trades qualifications system in Nova Scotia. His impact is evident through his work, dedication, and commitment to developing future leaders in the trades at Irving Shipbuilding.

A key unit of the first Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ship for the Canadian Coast Guard/Garde côtière canadienne is taking shape in our Module Hall at Halifax Shipyard. With the installation of the skegs, Unit 141 - an essential piece of the stern mega block for the future CCGS Donjek - will head to our paint booth.

We are recognizing the National Day for Truth & Reconciliation and honouring the memory of former residential school students, their families and communities. Learning about Indigenous people, places and experiences is a step forward each Canadian can take on the path to reconciliation. #EveryChildMatters #OrangeShirtDay
