Movember isn’t just about a moustache; it’s about starting conversations that matter. Every November, men around the world take a moment to talk about mental health, face their struggles, and support one another. #UBCBuilt #Movember #MentalHealth

6 - Arsenal in October 2025 are the first English top-flight team in history to play six games in a month and win them all without conceding a single goal. Philosophy.

Great to see the news of $75 million for UTIP over the next 3 years. It’s a fantastic program which create training pathways for the folks we need to build Canada’s critical infrastructure and housing. Thank you for your leadership on this, @JZerucelli.

When our members write their C of Q exam at our centres, the familiar learning environment eliminates many of the external factors that contribute to lower scores. This change will increase pass rates and make it easier for workers to take the next step in their career. Thank

UBC members are ready!

We believe in the power of the Skills Development Fund to change lives. From young people exploring the trades to workers and jobseekers building their careers here in Ontario, the Skills Development Fund is about better training, for better jobs, with bigger paycheques.

NYC mayoral candidate @ZohranKMamdani linked up with @PabloTorre + former FTC chair @linamkhan for real talk on FIFA's $6,000 "dynamic" ticket pricing at next year's World Cup. "It's absurd!" "It feels apolitical and bipartisan in its absurdity!" "We've just normalized this!"

"The Skills Development Fund is a story of a long-overdue understanding of the untapped potential of trade unions as training institutions and the confirmation that we serve a core function in meeting Ontario’s demand for a well-trained skilled trades workforce." Thanks to

What stands out to me: Factory-built, modular construction is now recognized as foundational to modernizing how we build homes. There’s a clear shift toward prioritizing large-scale sites—moving away from the historical pattern of building affordable housing in drips and drabs.

It’s time to build.

Today, we announced the first tranche of major projects that Canada’s new government will prioritize for faster review.    We’re acting decisively to build a stronger, more competitive, and prosperous economy for Canadian workers.

The Carpenters’ Regional Council applauds the Federal Government’s announcement of the first 5 projects designated with Bill C-5 today in Edmonton at UBC Local 1325’s Training Centre. This milestone marks a bold step forward in Canada’s commitment to building critical
