    The announcements keep coming from Ottawa: major infrastructure projects, ambitious housing targets, unprecedented investments in the skilled trades. But what does it all mean for mechanical contractors in B.C.—and what happens next?

    Join us for this #CoffeeTalk with Ken Lancastle, COO of the Mechanical Contractors Association of Canada (MCAC), as he separates headlines from realities and helps members make sense of a rapidly evolving federal landscape. Expect to learn:

    • Where the mechanical contracting industry fits within the federal government’s evolving capital and development plans
    • What opportunities are on the horizon and how mechanical contractors can position themselves for success
    • Where industry must focus its federal advocacy efforts to help turn the tide on longstanding workforce and productivity challenges

    As always, come prepared with your burning questions and conversation-starters!

    Overview

    When it comes to safety, it's easy to feel overwhelmed—but did you know that expert safety support is available to your business at no cost?*

    BC Construction Safety Alliance (BCCSA)'s Regional Safety Advisors (RSAs) are available to assist contractors who have safety questions or concerns, are looking to develop safety programs and materials, or want to prepare for COR® (Certificate of Recognition).

    With their extensive knowledge and experience in construction health and safety, RSAs provide practical assistance to all contractor types and sizes, particularly small- to medium-sized businesses for whom safety goals can be a challenge.

    Join us as we welcome Tanya Steele, Lower Mainland RSA, for a discussion on common health and safety challenges, WorkSafeBC requirements, and how safety responsibilities impact your business.

    You’ll leave with practical examples of how RSAs support employers through no-cost BCCSA resources and hands-on assistance, including:

    • Health and safety program development and support
    • COR preparation and gap reviews
    • WorkSafeBC orders and regulatory questions
    • Workplace inspections and incident investigations
    • Emergency planning and drills
    • And more

    Learn how RSAs can help make safety simpler, reduce risk, and build a safer, stronger business.

    *BCCSA RSA services are available at no cost to all construction (Sector 72) employers and select aggregate and ready-mixed employers.
