🇨🇦 $6B to train 100,000 new skilled trades workers by 2030. As AD of Energy Efficiency & QA for mechanical systems, this is the workforce that turns efficient designs into real-world performance. You can’t have quality assurance without quality tradespeople. #SkilledTrades

This image is about remembrance….and responsibility.

We mourn the dead.
We fight for the living.

No one should go to work and not come home.

STOP PAYING FOR WHAT YOU CAN’T SEE.

Hidden energy waste is costing more than you think. A mechanical insulation assessment turns unseen loss into a clear plan to save.

You can't see it. You don't think about it. But insulation is silently saving energy in millions of buildings right now. That's the craft. That's the mission. 🌱 #EarthDay #Insulation #SkilledTrades

Mechanical insulation is one of the most overlooked tools in energy efficiency — and one of the most effective.
Smarter insulation means less waste, lower costs, and better-performing buildings.
This is the work that matters.

Today we remember the 14 women murdered at École Polytechnique on Dec 6, 1989. We honour their memory by taking action to end gender-based violence and building safer, more respectful workplaces and communities.

Budget 2025 includes several measures that touch on the skilled trades and retrofit economy.
Here’s what it could mean for energy efficiency, workers, and the mechanical insulation sector. https://t.co/PDEmLzfmYE via @LinkedIn

Budget 2025 = a chance to modernize Canada’s buildings.

Mechanical insulation + skilled trades = real energy savings, real jobs.

Build smarter, not just faster.

Canada’s Budget 2025: funding is there. Implementation is key. Labour standards, apprenticeships & Canadian expertise must be protected in federally funded projects. #GoodJobs #Trades #Budget2025

[Patrick Colford @PwrInUnion_NB]

Housing and industrial retrofits are ramping up. Skilled trades + energy-efficiency work = growth. Let’s ensure quality jobs, not just jobs. #ConstructionTrades #EnergyEfficiency #Apprenticeships

[Patrick Colford @PwrInUnion_NB]

Budget 2025 = big infrastructure $$ = huge opportunity for mechanical insulation & energy-efficiency projects. Apprenticeships matter — let’s make them a priority. #Budget2025 #MechanicalInsulation #Retrofit
