The McMaster Student Chapter placed first in the competition going against top talented student chapters from the USA. Second place went to Missouri State and honorable mentions were awarded to Kansas State University and Kent State University. "The event was incredible," said Student Chapter President Scott McDougall. "The Americans know how to put on a show, and the association knows how to take care of its people. Based on the events we attended, the industry really understands the challenges it faces and has strong values." Leisha Fernando also took home the award for "Most Outstanding Presenter." Congratulations to the entire competition team: Scott McDougall, Leisha Fernando, Brooke VanBuskirk, Nathalie Sa'adeh, Nicole-Marie Sa'adeh, Gavin Boyd and Andrew Wahba. MACHN would like to thank faculty advisor Dr. Stephen Veldhuis, MCAHN mentor Kyle Getty and the rest of their MCAHN mentors for their continued and unwavering support of the Student Chapter program. This is a huge accomplishment for these talented students, and we wish them the best in their future careers.

The Manitoba government is introducing new legislation, the prompt payment for construction act, which would establish payment obligations to contractors and subcontractors in the construction industry to alleviate payment delays. MCA Canada members are invited to participate in a review of the draft of the new Red Seal Occupational Standard (RSOS) for the plumber trade for Canada. The draft standard was developed at a recent national virtual workshop and includes input from trade experts and apprenticeship instructors from across the country. Before it is reviewed and evaluated by provincial and territorial industry and apprenticeship committees, industry stakeholders are being given an opportunity to comment on the standard via an online survey.
