Another class of the Master Rigger program was held at Local 146 on August 19-22, 2019.

In the Spring of 2019 during one of the largest shutdown seasons in the history of the refineries of Sarnia, Ontario, Lodge 128 received a job order for a crew of experienced riggers to remove a tower that had a structural failure.

At the Awards Banquet (held during the Boilermaker Industry Tripartite Conference August 13) the National Training Trust Fund (NTTF) trustees took the opportunity to acknowledge an individual who over the years have demonstrated extraordinary commitment, dedication and support for apprenticeship training. This year we are recognizing Joe Kiwior, a long term member of Local 359.

Congratulations to the 12 Canadian graduate apprentices honoured on August 13, 2019 at a special event during the 2019 Boilermaker Industry Tripartite Conference in Canada.
