Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.
CANB - Fredericton Northwest Construction Association would
like to congratulate Lin Hupman on receiving the Queen Elizabeth II
Diamond Jubilee Medal. During Lin’s 35 plus years as a member
of the Construction Association he wore many hats. He was a valued
member on many committees throughout the Province. Lin is also Past
President of the Construction Association of New Brunswick and the
Fredericton Northwest Construction Association.
The Gold Seal Program was always a great source of pride for
Lin as he took part in the development and implementation of the
program in New Brunswick.
"The Canadian Construction Association is extremely pleased
to see individuals in the construction industry honoured for their
outstanding achievements in their community, province and, most
importantly, Canada and the Canadian Construction Industry. These
medals recognize a historic event in Canadian history, as they mark
the 60th anniversary of Queen
Elizabeth II’s accession to the Throne. Only one other time
—Queen Victoria in 1897—has this milestone been
celebrated. In total. 60,000 Canadians from all walks of life will
be recognized with a Diamond Jubliee Medal of their own, and the
Canadian Construction Association was proud to accept 38 medals to
distribute, with its partners, to distinguish outstanding
individuals in our industry. Your achievements have helped to build
the Canada of today, and we would once again like to thank you for
those contributions that have helped to build Canada, and
Canada’s future."
Once again, on behalf of CANB - Fredericton Northwest
Construction Association and the Canadian Construction Association
and more than 17,000 member firms across Canada, congratulations to
Lin for this monumental recognition in our country’s
history.

Welcome to our New Website
We hope you like the new look and find the site
informative. If there is something that you would like to see
added, please let us know. Telephone: 506-458-1086
We are making some new and exiting changes to our look. If you
haven’t noticed we have been using our new logo over the past
few months.
The
Fredericton Northwest Construction Association has encountered a
few problems over the past few months with our Wide Format Copier.
Our previous copier couldn’t print drawings with the newer
versions of programs being used today to generate drawings. We
would like to let our members know that we have purchased a new
Copier. The Oce TDS450. This will alleviate the problems that we
had with printing The TDS450 is equipped with a Color Scanner,
which some may find useful with "as built" drawings. Oce’s
patented direct scan color technology, illuminating the original
for accurate colors over long periods of time eliminating risks of
distortion and ensuring color consistency and sharpness. The
machine has the capability of taking an 81/2 x 11 drawing and
copying any size you want. We encourage our members to take
advantage of the many services available with the new copier.
