Every day we're removing barriers so more people can work in BC's construction sector. Today, we did that by making our @UnitedWay #PeriodPromise. Menstrual products will be available to BCIB employees on all our jobsites. #MHDay2021 ow.ly/LubS50EX4tH

Women are underrepresented in the construction industry. We need to promote equitable opportunities and the Community Benefits Agreement is one way to do just that.

Wonderful to have @bcibinc CEO Irene Kerr speaking on ways to recruit and advance women in the trades at @bccwitt's #WomenBuildBC conference on #IWD! BCIB has been doing amazing work bringing up the percentage of women working on public infrastructure projects.

Anyone wondering why we need labour agreements like CBAs on public projects? Because without them, this happens. Thanks, @carpentersbc, for bringing attention to this. @bcibinc @BenefitsForBC #bclab princegeorgecitizen.com/news/local-new…

Great work by @ibew993, @HouleElectric & @escautomation to bring diversity to our sector. Workforce diversity isn't a box to check; it's a competitive advantage for employers and workers alike. And we are stronger together. @Interior_Health @bccwitt ibew993.org/ibew-993-women…

Some clarity around #CBAs: They prioritize jobs to underrepresented groups, are open to all bidders, have been upheld repeatedly by the courts, and are supported by most BCers.

BC projects should mean jobs for BC workers. CBAs do just that. keepjobslocal.ca
