The 2025 Canadian Boilermaker Competition took place June 9th -12th. We had 14 of the best Boilermaker and Welder graduates in Canada come to British Columbia to compete. The event was hosted by Local 359 and the competition took place at BCIT.
The intention of the competition is not only to challenge Locals to compete, it is also to meet other members, contractors and union leadership from across Canada, forge new friendships and feel first hand how much pride there is within our organization.
We want to congratulate all who competed and thank everyone who supported our event.
