At tonight’s meeting Local 2955 was proud to honor Brother Clark Forster on receiving his 70-Year Service Pin!
Initiated on October 2, 1956, Brother Forster has spent seven decades dedicated to our trade and local, remaining an active participant at our meetings throughout his incredible journey. Reaching 70 years in the brotherhood is an extraordinary milestone that reflects true loyalty, craftsmanship, and leadership.
On behalf of the entire local, thank you, Brother Forster, for your 70 years of unwavering dedication and service to the UBC brotherhood!

What a great day for the Local 2955 golf outing. Thank you to every brother and sister who joined us to make today such a success.

Between the great stories, endless laughs, and some surprisingly solid golf, it was a day to remember.

Thank you to all of our sponsors. Shoutout to Brother Cliff Lawry and his family, along with all our incredible volunteers, for putting this together and making it run seamlessly. See you all next year!

Mental health isn't a talking point. It's something that disproportionately affects our trades. This week is Construction Su***de Prevention Week, and we're challenging everyone to ask themselves and those around them... are you OK? It's OK if not. We have resources available to you. We're in this together 💛
