2021 Ironworkers Local 721 Apprentice Competition

We at Local 721 would like to thank all the competitors, spectators and UIWMC for attending.

It was a great apprentice competition event with a succulent pig roast,  amazing BBQ, and an impressive motorcycle show and shine from the Union Iron Workers Motorcycle Club. This year’s competition was fearsome with 12 competitors fighting for 4 positions to represent us at provincial level. It was a tough battle, and we would like to thank all the judges that volunteered their time to score our competitors in various events. Unfortunately, we could only pick four competitors to move on.

Certified Ballot Results of Election of Delegate’s for the 44TH International Iron Workers Convention

I would like to take the opportunity to thank Judges on a well-done job on Local 721’s first mail out elections that required the Judges spend over two days to review and count/tally the results all the while dealing with the changes and curveballs during the constantly changing government protocols/regulations related to the COVID pandemic and what that entailed for holding this election.

On behalf of the Judges of Elections (Ron, Debbie & Jacqueline), Congratulations to all who participated and to the twelve members who will represent Local 721 as Delegates to the 44TH Ironworkers Convention this August.

Fraternally,

Luiz Barros

President/Business Agent, IW Local 721
