MIBC ESTABLISHES TRAINING FUND TO BUILD THE NEXT GENERATION OF RED SEAL MASONS

by Foundation Team / Friday, 27 August 2021 / Published in NEWS

VANCOUVER (AUGUST 27, 2021) – The Masonry Institute of BC (MIBC) has established a new training fund with the Construction Foundation of BC that aims to provide tuition and training support for individuals entering or continuing education in the masonry trades.

“The masonry trade has a rich and vibrant history.  Some of the world’s greatest architectural achievements have been built by masons and have lasted lifetimes,” shared Joshua French, general manager of HS Masonry Inc and president of MIBC and Canadian Masonry Contractors Association.  “We established this fund because we are proud of our trade and look forward to sharing these skills with future generations.”

With a mandate to enhance the development of masonry in BC through technical support to designers, educators and building officials – MIBC established the training fund to bolster supports for masons who are planning to advance their skill level with the trade.

“Masons are in high demand in the province,” shared Bill Olexa, district manager of Scorpio Masonry and vice president of MIBC.  “The earning potential for new entrants to the industry is substantial and I would encourage anyone who is looking for a career with staying power to consider masonry.”

Eligible applicants will receive up to $1000 to be applied to training costs incurred at the Trowel Trades Training Association.
