CLR Connector Welcome Message from CLR’s President

The CLR is excited to introduce our new member newsletter which we are calling “CLR Connector”. In our survey of members which we conducted early this year and will be doing annually going forward, those of you who responded were very complimentary to the CLR and the important and critical work we do in support of you and your businesses. We are very grateful for the feedback and noted that members asked for even greater communication to keep them up to date on industry issues, trends, priorities and relevant CLR activity. Born from that request was this newsletter and it is our sincere hope that you will find it thought provoking and insightful.

We appreciate that you are very busy, so the structure of the newsletter will be a short introduction to a topic with a link to our website should the topic interest you and you want more information. If at any time you would like to have more information on an issue or have ideas for us to consider for future editions of this newsletter, feel free to reach out to myself or Maria Sushkova in our office. Maria is our Marketing & Communications Coordinator and her contact details are at the bottom of this newsletter. As CLR members, you will be receiving 6 newsletters a year (every 2months) and our goal is to ensure that the content is relevant and timely.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read the newsletter, and even more importantly for being a valued member of the CLR. Your membership demonstrates not only your commitment to your business and employees, but more broadly to a strong and vibrant unionized construction sector in BC. On another important note, I wanted to remind our members that with the start of Stage 3 of the province’s plan to restart BC under Covid, the CLR is encouraging our members to visit the WSBC website (insert link) and ensure they have a Communicable Disease Prevention plan in place. We have informed our members about this under our weekly CLR-Info emails, but it never hurts to be reminded.

Thank you again and we hope you enjoy CLR Connector.

Ken McCormack | President & CEO
