Coming Events

Climate change expected to be topic of discussion at 2022 ABCs

Annual business conferences are making their triumphant return for in-person events. The industry will once again be able to gather, network, and maybe indulge a little bit too much this summer after a brief pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Mecanical Contractors Assocation of Canada (MCAC) will be holding its national conference from Sept. 28 to Oct. 1 at the Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel in Halifax, N.S. This year’s theme will be ReConnect.

“It has been far too long since we have been together, and we can’t wait to reconnect with our members when we travel to Halifax this fall,” said Tania Johnston, CEO of MCAC. “We have an outstanding program of events planned and plenty of maritime hospitality in store.”

Over the course of the three-day conference, attendees can take in education sessions that include presentations on labour force issues, contractual issues and opportunities for contractors, new innovations and technologies, and the industry’s role in a transition to net-zero. There will also be various meetings involving the board of directors, associates, and contractors.

The conference’s first keynote speaker will be James Duthie, a sports anchor on TSN. On the final day of the conference, Shaun Majumder, comedian, will wrap-up the event.

Registration for the conference is now open, and early-bird registration fees are available until the end of July. For more information, visit www.conference.mcac.ca.

HRAI ABC

From Sept.18 to 20, the Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Institute of Canada (HRAI) will be hosting its annual conference at the Westin Hotel in Ottawa, Ont.

The conference will feature keynote presentations that will cover topics like climate change, a parliamentary reception with local MP’s, and contractor, wholesaler and manufacturer meetings. Details regarding the conference, specific speakers and activities are still being discussed.

CIPH ABC

The next industry conference will be hosted by the Canadian Institute of Plumbing and Heating (CIPH) at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge in Jasper, Alta, from June 19 to 21.

CIPH expects more than 70 new delegates and companions, and more than 270 members across Canada and the USA to attend the conference. The theme will be Shift to Celebrate.

“The CIPH world stopped abruptly on March 20, 2020. Our conference theme for that year was planned to be Shift. How appropriate as we saw shifting trends in our industry then,” said Ralph Suppa, president of CIPH. “We kept that theme and knowing that we were coming back this year in 2022, we added the words “to celebrate.” To celebrate us, our wonderful industry and the great people that make CIPH who we are and proud.”

Over the three-day event, participants will sit in on a wide selection of presentations and attend networking activities.

There will also be a country westernthemed barbeque and a formal Chairman’s Banquet.

Currently, the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge is sold out, as well as the overflow hotel, Jasper Inn.
