Created and held by WorkBC Maple Ridge, this event will celebrate the local trades businesses that have kept working through the pandemic and building our city along with the unions and organizations that represent trades, and the service providers who assist with training and finding trades work for people.
There will be demonstrations and hands on projects for everyone to learn more about the various trades, including the Ironworkers Union Local 97 35 foot demonstration trailor! We will also be presenting hiring needs for the trades, so people can have the opportunity to talk with people working in the trades and potentially speak directly with the companies who are hiring.
Lastly, there will be information on how to find work and/or training in these industries thanks to numerous service providers.
The weather will be beautiful and their will be lots to see and do, so come out and join us in celebrating and learning about trades in Maple Ridge!
