Message from MCA Canada CEO Tania Johnston

February 25, 2022 --

To our valued members,

On behalf of MCA Canada, I am pleased to provide a brief update on MCA Canada for February 2022. As many of you may have seen, we have a number of exciting virtual events, as well as in-person events taking place in the coming months. As we continue to see a transition to more in-person meetings and events, MCA Canada is looking forward to reconnecting with our members from coast to coast.

On the advocacy front, there are several ongoing issues being faced by the mechanical contracting sector in Canada, and we are proud to represent your interests at the federal level. Supply chain, skills shortages and the finalization of federal prompt payment legislation all remain critical files for us at this time.

As we look ahead to the remainder of the year, we have several events and initiatives coming up, as well as the return of our Annual National Conference, being held in Halifax this coming September. Stay tuned for updates on that event, as well as registration details.

As always, if there are any questions or comments on this bulletin, or on any other topics and issues of interest, please do not hesitate to reach out to our office.

Sincerely,

Tania Johnston
