The BTA commends both Prime Minister @MarkJCarney and Premier @ABDanielleSmith on this vital agreement. Our members are the safest, most highly-trained workers in North America, and they are ready to build our country's economic infrastructure! #pipeline #Construction #Alberta
It’s time to diversify our export markets and transform our economy from one that is reliant on a single trade partner, to one that is stronger, more competitive, and more independent. That’s the mission Premier @ABDanielleSmith and I just committed to advancing, together.

Canadian studies have shown that unionized construction job sites report higher efficiency and safer working conditions. When highly skilled union workers are on the job, you get the best results delivered on time and on budget. #BuildingTrades #Construction #BuildingGreatness

What an honour it was to sponsor and attend this event. Congratulations to the @OfficialACSA team on a fantastic conference that brought together leaders in safety from across our industry. The BTA is proud to work with the ACSA to make the hardest work out there safer!
Thank you for participating in #ACSA2025. We hope you built new connections and left with practical ideas to make work safer. Post a photo and share one idea you'll take back next week – tag ACSA and use #ACSA2025 by Sunday to enter the contest. Thank you to our sponsors:
