Building off of the success of the original in-person Indigenous Awareness training pioneered by Lyle Daniels of the George Gordon First Nation in Saskatchewan and the Community and Indigenous Director at the Building Trades of Alberta, SkillPlan and CBTU are proud to expand accessibility of this training virtually.<br \/><br \/>Previously delivered in person to more than 400 Building Trades leaders, the new program was expanded to an online format, in consultation and collaboration with Indigenous partners, leaders, organizations and subject-matter experts across North America, and funded in part by the Government of Canada\u2019s Canadian Apprenticeship Strategy, for greater accessibility by the Building Trades and their affiliated contractors across Canada. The course is based on the history of Indigenous peoples in Canada and provides context on current situations taking place within the construction industry and Indigenous Communities. The content was developed to increase understanding of the history and culture of Indigenous peoples and to prepare training participants with career development tools to enhance relationship-building with Indigenous communities. The course is targeted towards apprentices, journeypersons, contractors, local union staff and union leadership.<br \/><br \/>\u201cAs we continue to work toward reconciliation and learn more about what that means for the unionized skilled trades industry, Canada\u2019s Building Trades Unions has worked with our facilitator Lyle Daniels, the Saskatchewan Building Trades and our partner SkillPlan to deliver in-person Indigenous Awareness training to more than 400 Building Trades leaders across the country,\u201d said Sean Strickland, Executive Director, CBTU. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to announce that the training is now available virtually for increased accessibility for all our members. CBTU has a long history of developing a highly-trained workforce; one that is represented by strong labour unions who continuously advocate for better working conditions for all our members, and we\u2019re proud to continually expand our training offerings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThis training is the result of many people coming together to collaborate and create a program that hundreds of skilled tradespeople and Building Trades leaders have participated in. Thanks to this new online option, hundreds more across Canada will be able to access it,\u201d said Lyle Daniels, Community and Indigenous Director, Building Trades of Alberta. \u201cI\u2019m proud to be the virtual instructor for the training program after conducting it in person over the past few years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cIn collaboration with our partners \u2013 CBTU, Provincial Building Trades Councils and Social Research and Demonstration Corporation \u2013 and through engagement and partnerships with Indigenous peoples and organizations across Canada, our Indigenous Awareness training provides workers with knowledge and skills to participate in reconciliation and contribute to supportive work environments,\u201d said Kyle Downie, CEO, SkillPlan. \u201cAs we continue to work toward reconciliation, we are proud of this partnership to develop and offer this important training for the industry. We are grateful to the Government of Canada for their Canadian Apprenticeship Strategy funding to support this and other programming for the skilled trades.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Sean Strickland, Executive Director of Canada\u2019s Building Trades Unions, Lyle Daniels, Community and Indigenous Director for the Building Trades of Alberta, Kyle Downie, CEO of SkillPlan, and other partners, community leaders and members, and representatives from labour and management will be in Maple Ridge, BC, today to make the announcement.
