Published on November 20, 2015



A new training centre being built in Kanata will ensure tradespeople get the skills they need to keep up with construction industry demand, the president of the local union chapter said Thursday.

“We are very excited to be building this new facility in Ottawa. It will ensure that our skilled workers remain on the cutting edge of their trades by receiving the highest level of training possible,” the United Brotherhood of Carpenters’ and Joiners of America Local 93’s Rod Thompson said in a statement.

Deputy mayor Mark Taylor and Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson were on hand for the groundbreaking of the 65,000-square-foot facility on Campeau Drive, which is intended to be a training and education facility to help tradespeople learn carpentry, interior systems, flooring, scaffolding and other skills.

“The city of Ottawa relies on attracting and retaining tradespeople with the latest skills and training,” Mr. Taylor said in a statement. “Training people locally not only creates rewarding long-term employment but it helps us become a more dynamic and prosperous city.”

Statistics show the construction industry will see a high turnover in the next decade due to retirements, the union said in a release, adding “it’s essential that the shortage of skilled workers be addressed.”

Carpenters’ Union construction of 65,000 sq. ft. Kanata training centre
On November 21, 2015

The United Brotherhood of Carpenters’ and Joiners of America, Local 93 and Local 2041 put shovels in the ground on Nov. 19 to kick off the construction of their new state-of-the-art training centre.

The 65,000 sq. foot facility to be built in Kanata at 765 Green Creek Dr. [sic] will be a new, ultramodern skilled trades training and education facility for carpentry, interior systems, flooring, scaffold and other areas.

The new training centre will offer expanded training programs and will provide centralized and seamless training for all apprentices and journeypersons by bringing both locals under one roof.

“Creating training opportunities for skilled tradespeople is critical if we are to keep up with industry demand,” said Rod Thompson, president, Local 93 and eastern region co-ordinator. “We are very excited to be building this new facility in Ottawa. It will ensure that our skilled workers remain on the cutting edge of their trades by receiving the highest level of training possible.”

Construction is booming in the Ottawa region and with statistics showing that more than 230,000 construction workers will retire over the next decade, it’s essential that the shortage of skilled workers be addressed.

Ottawa deputy mayor Mark Taylor and city councillor Marianne Wilkinson joined members of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters’ and Joiners of America in the groundbreaking ceremony.

“The city of Ottawa relies on attracting and retaining tradespeople with the latest skills and training,” Taylor said. “Training people locally not only creates rewarding long-term employment but it helps us become a more dynamic and prosperous city.”
