Jess Villeneuve,

Gary Bye,

Dave Pocock,

The main focus of this meeting will be Alberta's latest trade legislation, the 'Designated Trades & Restricted Activities Regulation, that directly affects the roofing industry and how we operate our businesses. The meeting will also include information on the roofer apprenticeship program, a Q & A session with our guest speakers as well as an optional tour of the roofing apprenticeship teaching facilities.

We encourage all members to participate in this highly informative meeting as we navigate through these new regulations and move forward with the Skilled Trades and Apprenticeship Education Act (STAE Act).
