This week, we announced training for 60 Indigenous people to start jobs in construction.
40% of those currently in this training program are women.
We’re committed to spreading opportunity more widely so hardworking people can earn bigger paycheques and support their family.

Today and everyday, we have to keep working to make sure that everyone has access to safe, clean drinking water.

Did you know your favorite #socent is now doing home renovation? Had a crew from @BuildingUpTO in over the last week to fix my plaster ceilings and walls. Would take a picture to show their wonderful work but it looks like they were never here - just what you want in a old house!
