Heritage Carpentry

The Heritage Carpentry program was developed to train carpenters to work on heritage restoration projects. This program offers contemporary construction carpentry training along with training in the traditional skills that were used to construct the wood frame buildings of yesteryear. In addition, the program also provides background information on architectural styles in Atlantic Canada and Quebec. Although the program has a heritage orientation, it is fully articulated with the Red Seal Construction Carpentry program and students may, if they wish, continue on to complete their apprenticeship and become journeypersons in Construction Carpentry.
