Remembering John Tackaberry

John Tackaberry went from a career as a Journeyman Red Seal Glazier with Local 1725 to become Calgary Business Representative for the newly amalgamated provincial Local 177, Chairman of the Building Trades of Alberta and a Director of the Building Trades of Alberta Charitable Foundation. He also served on the Canadian Board of Trustees of the International Local Union and District Council Pension Fund and co-chaired the Board of Trustees of the IUPAT Local 177 Benefit Trust Fund.

John’s bluster and booming voice could never quite hide his kind heart and the laughter that welled just below the surface. He was a very kind and good man who believed deeply in the union movement, in his many unions colleagues and friends, and in the importance of community volunteer work. He knew the value of skilled trades training, mentoring apprentices, and was proud of the superb training facilities at IUPAT Local 177. Appropriately, the John Tackaberry Future Leaders Award is named in his honour. The award is given each year to an apprentice who typifies John’s leadership qualities.

Supporting the Charitable Foundation

It is also appropriate that the proceeds from the John Tackaberry Memorial Golf Tournament go to support the work of the Charitable Foundation (est. 2001). The Building Trades of Alberta Charitable Foundation is supported by the members of BTA’s affiliated unions who purchase tickets in raffles authorized by the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission. The raffles are held on work sites with contractor / owner permission. Additional funds are provided through charity golf tournaments, like the John Tackaberry Memorial Golf Tournament, curling bonspiels, events at the annual conference, and a 50-50 raffle at the Building Trades of Alberta Oil Kings Night.

TO DATE THE BUILDING TRADES OF ALBERTA CHARITABLE FOUNDATION HAS DONATED OVER $6 MILLION TO CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS IN ALBERTA.
