A new training facility is opening doors for carpenters in the Sarnia-Lambton community.
Carpenter’s Local 1256 held their grand opening Saturday afternoon to showcase some of the buildings many state-of-the-art features.
“It makes it so much easier to perform the work when you have the right equipment,” says Business Manager Bob Schenck. “Just overall, it’s a lot nicer, bigger and an easier place to train.”
The facility has an in-ground pit which will allow workers to drive stakes through the winter months, as well as an overhead crane. Schenck says this will prepare carpenters for moving heavy steel formwork, a requirement at many job sites.
If you’d like to check it out for yourself, head to 101 Business Park Drive in Sarnia.
Workers set up a rock-climbing wall for grand opening of new training facility.
