The Mechanical Contractors Association of Saskatchewan celebrates its 100th birthday.
The provincial trade association, which historically has represented mechanical contractors, has expanded over the years to include businesses that form the supplylines of products used by the contractors.
Justin Yawney of YPH Mechanical in Yorkton, has been a member of MCAS for over 10 years. “Absolutely, there’s lots of benefits of being a member,” he said.
“For one, it keeps standards up -- sort of a seal of approval that you’re established. They also offer bonding and insurance, which we use a lot. There’s tons of benefits of membership; lots of services that different people use.”
Originally called the Saskatchewan Society of Sanitary and Heating Engineers, the Association’s function is to facilitate and maintain relationships within the construction industry and the municipal and provincial government bodies that regulate them.
The first celebration took place at Hotel Saskatchewan in the Library February 12 from 4-7 pm, with other events to follow.
