The Canadian Department of National Defence has begun construction of a Land-Based Test Facility in Nova Scotia to support the Royal Canadian Navy's River-class destroyers, with completion expected by early 2028. The project, managed by PCL Construction, will create approximately 200 jobs and is essential for integrating combat systems to enhance the Canadian Armed Forces' maritime capabilities. This initiative aligns with Canada's NATO defense commitments and bolsters its maritime security efforts.
