TOP GLASS IS BACK

Top Glass, Canada’s conference and trade exposition for the architectural glass industry, will take place at the International Centre in Mississauga, Ont., on April 20. It marks the first time the show has been hosted as a live event since the 2019 edition, having moved online in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID pandemic.


Report from OCS State of the Industry conference

The Ontario Construction Secretariat held its annual State of the Industry conference on March 3 at the International Centre in Mississauga, Ont. This one-day event features some great economic analysis and the results of the OCS contractor survey, as well as a panel discussion with some leading lights.


Sourcing skilled labour online

To say there is a shortage of skilled workers available during normal times in Canada would be a serious understatement. Add in the complications brought on by a global pandemic and many companies are left struggling to fill roles through online hiring and remote interviews via phone, Zoom or one of the many other online meeting tools.


Editorial: A new trades regime

Listeners to the GlassTalk podcast (available at glasscanadamag.com and wherever you find podcasts) can download my conversation with the Ontario Minister of Labour, Training and Skills Development, Monte McNaughton, and my follow-up discussion with Ian Howcroft, president of Skills Ontario, Angelo Cairo of Stouffville Glass and Brett Lucier of Provincial Glass. McNaughton replaced Ontario’s skilled trades regulator, the Ontario College of Trades, with a new agency called Skilled Trades Ontario in January.

She was instrumental in creating not one but two industry associations: the Insulating Glass Manufacturers Alliance then the Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance. Glass Talk was fortunate to get Margaret to step back into the industry for a brief moment following her retirement to reflect on her time, tell a few stories and share a few opinions about how things are and how they ought to be. » Listen now...
