Canada's Building Trades Unions begins campaign
By Derek Winkler
Canada’s Building Trades Unions has begun a campaign called “Hey Canada, We’re Ready” which highlights the contributions of the skilled trades to the Canadian economy. It includes a video featuring a number of skilled trades workers who have participated in infrastructure and energy projects. It also makes use of a website at <https://www.buildingtrades.ca/en/were-ready>. Canada’s Building Trades Unions is an organization representing 14 unions in the construction, maintenance and fabrication industries.
“Major projects create far more than infrastructure,” said Sean Strickland, executive director of the organization. “They create careers, provide world-class training opportunities, strengthen local communities and help build a brighter future for Canadians. Our members are ready to build what comes next.”
