After a year off due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are excited to be back once again at the Royal Ontario Golf Club to raise funds for the Construction Education Council and its exceptional education programming for the industry!

This annual tournament directs all funds raised to support our ability to provide the mechanical contracting industry with ongoing and innovative new educational programming. The fundraising from this tournament will be put toward a major CEC project!

You are invited to participate in a review of the draft of the new Red Seal Occupational Standard for the Steamfitter/Pipefitter trade for Canada.

A draft of the standard was developed at a national virtual workshop attended by trade experts and apprenticeship instructors from across Canada. After this online survey is completed, provincial and territorial industry and apprenticeship committees will also review and validate this standard. In preparation for this step, we would like to give individuals who would like to participate the opportunity to do so.

For this trade, the standard is divided into Major Work Activities, which are broken down into Tasks, which are further broken down into distinct Sub-Tasks.

The survey is completely voluntary and is anonymous, though if you possess a Red Seal, the first digits of your Red Seal number will be requested (these do not identify any individual).

All comments will be forwarded to your province/territory’s apprenticeship authority to review with their committees for consideration.

You can start the survey and resume at a later time, as long as you work from the same device (laptop, tablet, smartphone) every time. Please note that the deadline to complete the survey is Aug. 30, 2021.

Thank you for participating in the survey.
