“It’s always been a good time to enter the trades”-@BronkOCS
Great article in @cdnbiz featuring our CEO discussing the lack of awareness about careers in the trades and steps the industry is taking to promote them.

We were happy to attend Derringer's Christmas Breakfast this morning and present a cheque for matched donations in support of @Abusehurtsca
A great event focused on addressing the #skillsgap in #skilledtrades in Ontario.

Great to see unionized construction actively #GivingBack to make their communities better! #UCWon
A donation of $10,114 for the @NiagaraHealthFd Medical Imaging Innovation campaign from @IBEW303Niagara. The money was raised at 303's 8th annual Charity Golf Tournament this summer. Since 2011 the event has raised over $53,000.00 for local charities!

The federal government needs to develop a national maternity assistance program strategy to remove barriers for women in the trades, @CDNTrades operating officer Robert Blakely recently told a senate committee on social affairs, science and technology. ow.ly/3Kvg30n18CY
Great to hear @MYorke27 and @AndrewKrystal discuss the benefits of unionized construction. Unions are 23% safer and provide permanent well-paying jobs. They also give back to the community in amazing ways. Bill 66 could put these benefits at risk. chirb.it/O711e2

What a great and hilarious way to end our 25th Anniversary Gala Dinner. So funny - @grahamchit. #OCS25YearsAGM
Ready to start Day 2 at #OCS25YearsAGM. We'll begin with our AGM and then welcome Paul Wells, Senior Editor with @macleans magazine and our Navigator panel discussing the First 100 days since the Ontario election. @InklessPW @navltd

“Writing down goals and communicating them to others is like networking. But I suggest networking is broken and instead you should give value first. Try “net giving because it will be much more rewarding”. - #OCS25YearsAGM Chris Cummins
Ready to welcome everyone to #OCS25YearsAGM in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Registration is open. Our program begins at 1PM. #construction
