The Building Trades of Alberta is proud to welcome the members of the newly formed United Brotherhood of Carpenters Local 1790 to the Alberta Building Trades Council.
Local 1790 represents skilled carpenters, scaffolders, and allied tradespeople working in the Fort McMurray and Wood Buffalo region.
“On behalf of the Building Trades of Alberta and all our affiliated unions, I am pleased to welcome the members of Local 1790 to the BTA,” said BTA Executive Director Terry Parker. “Carpenters and scaffolders have long been a foundational part of Alberta’s construction industry. Local 1790 strengthens our presence in the North and adds capacity, skill, and solidarity to the work we do together. Their addition makes our council stronger and further enhances the skilled union workforce available to build Alberta.”
The formation of Local 1790 marks an important step in organizing and representing workers in one of Canada’s most dynamic industrial regions. As part of the Western Canada Regional Council of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters, the new local joins existing Alberta affiliates including Locals 1325 and 2103. Together, these locals share a commitment to the highest standards of training, excellence and efficiency.
The Building Trades of Alberta coordinates and promotes the interests of Alberta local trade unions, whose more than 60,000 members work across the industrial & commercial construction, maintenance, residential and fabrication industries. Welcoming Local 1790 expands that collective capacity, especially in the Fort McMurray area.
Welcome to the Alberta Building Trades Council, Local 1790. We look forward to building greatness together.
