At the most recent MCA America Annual Convention, MCA Canada President Wayne Davidson chaired the MCA International Alliance Meeting. This alliance brings together representatives from MCA Canada, MCA America, the Building Engineering Services Association (UK), Australia MCA, MCA Ontario, and MCA Northern California.
The meeting provides an opportunity to discuss current industry issues being faced in respective jurisdictions, and to share ideas and best practices on how to best address those concerns.
As to be suspected, many of the same issues were raised, including skilled labour shortages, industry supply chain issues, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, and net-zero building strategies. Alliance members will continue to dialogue on these and other issues, and to ensure mechanical contractors are well represented nationally and internationally.
