National Tradesmen (and Women!) Day is approaching next month, and we are getting excited to celebrate our great industry! We have been reminding you quite often that Canada is suffering a severe skilled trades shortage, and we recently came across this article by Steve Maxwell, Canada’s Handiest Man.
