Instead of a traditional ribbon cutting, apprentices from a number of trades cut materials of their trade with Prime Minister Trudeau. Glazier apprentice Sonia Boucher from District Council 46/Local Union 200 (Ottawa) participated in the unveiling by cutting a piece of glass with the Prime Minister.
