Building a better future By Larry Pyn, Vancouver Sun
By all accounts, the construction industry is entering a period of strong growth: housing starts, a shortage of skilled labour exacerbated by looming retirements, and the prospect of major construction projects such as the 2010 Olympics.
The Building and Construction Trades Council has a B.C. membership of 35,000 tradesmen and women in 14 unions representing 35 per cent of non-residential construction. One of its bulletins estimates 7,850 openings for carpenters in the 10-year period to 2008; 3,180 for electricians; 2,540 for plasterers and drywallers; 2,480 for plumbers; 1,800 for painters and decorators.------------------------------------------- posted 7:38 AM :: reference link ::
