We continue to strive to make our unions, jobsites, and the construction industry as a whole, more inclusive. And, we\u2019re proud of the work taking place across the country, including our Offices to Advance Women Apprentices that set out and exceeded their goal to register 30 per cent Indigenous clients. The federally funded Apprentices Services Grant program, In the Trades, is connecting Indigenous Peoples with employers to get started on a career in the skilled trades. Our Indigenous Awareness Training has been taken by hundreds of building trades leaders and will be relaunched through the Construction Trades Hub virtual learning portal to make the training even more widely available. There is a spot for everyone to succeed in one of the many skilled trades that we represent, and we stand ready to continue to break down barriers and create opportunities for Indigenous peoples in the construction industry.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year, Canadians honour and celebrate the contributions and heritage of First Nations, Inuit, and M\u00e9tis peoples throughout Canada\u2019s history on the fifth annual National Indigenous People\u2019s Day.
