  • TRADING Equipping Ontario Trades with the Skills of the Future ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
    TRADING Equipping Ontario Trades with the Skills of the Future ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) received support from the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities to conduct a study on the skill gaps and training needs for skilled trades for the construction of energy-efficient, high-performing buildings in Ontario. CaGBC partnered with Mohawk College, mcCallumSather, The Cora Group and The City of Toronto to complete this study. We received further input from our Advisory Group with members from the Toronto & York Region Labour Council, Ontario Building Officials Association, British Columbia Institute of Technology, Mohawk and George Brown College. This paper puts forward solutions to address the existing gaps in the skills required to construct high-performing buildings throughout Ontario, Canada`s most populous province. It also identifies training requirements and recommends delivery models to drive low-carbon building skills training. This project is funded in part by the Government of Ontario.
