🚄 The Government of Alberta's new Passenger Rail Masterplan presents new opportunities to put skilled tradespeople to work. Building Trades members are ready to build these projects on time and on budget.

Alberta's Building Trades Unions are building relationships across every sector to put journeypeople and apprentices to work. Earlier this year, BTA Executive Director Terry Parker and Canada's Building Trades Unions Executive Director Sean Strickland signed an agreement with Friends of CABR to work together on building a passenger rail system between Calgary and Banff. This announcement by Premier Danielle Smith and Minister Devin Dreeshen is a huge step forward! 🚞

Today, the BTA, its affiliates and the GPMC-NMC visited the world-class Borouge International Joffre Site to see the incredible work being done by many Building Trades members on its E1 shutdown turnaround!

On the tour was BTA Executive Director Terry Parker, BTA Chair Rod McKay, GPMC-NMC Executive Director Brett McKenzie, GPMC-NMC Labour Representative Trent Valentine, along with leaders and representatives from across Alberta's Building Trades Unions.

This incredible opportunity was made possible by Shutdown Turnaround Leader Marc Wahl and his team, who welcomed the group to the site. Their leadership on the job and partnership with our skilled trades workforce continue to make the Joffre turnaround a success.

Projects like this show what is possible through strong relationships between industry and labour, and collaboration across the trades. That's why the BTA is committed to continuing to work with great partners like Borouge International and across its affiliated unions to drive economic growth and create more opportunities for Building Trades members.
