Dedicated to Quality
Roofing Since 1964
Roofing Contractors Association of Nova Scotia (RCANS) is the voice of the industrial, commercial, and institutional roofing industry in our province. Our mission is simple: to promote professional workmanship, safety, and integrity in every project our members undertake.
Our History & Heritage
A Legacy of Professionalism
The story of RCANS began approximately sixty years ago in Halifax. A small group of dedicated roofing contractors recognized the need for an association that could define and promote high-quality commercial roofing workmanship.
Under the leadership of the late Douglas Fraser, operator of Tasco Roofing, these founders met monthly to establish the bylaws and membership criteria that still guide us today.
"We continue to operate out of the Construction Association of Nova Scotia building in Halifax, serving as a hub for industry excellence."
