Boilermakers Union Local 146, Calgary, AB

Boilermakers Local 146 is your key to securing the best job. Join our proud brotherhood of professional welders, riggers and fitters who since 1948 have enjoyed top wages and benefits, professional training and protection against unsafe work conditions. In 2002 our members invested in a world-class training and administrative facilities, in both Edmonton and Calgary, to provide security and stability for Local 146 for many years to come. We purchased our current location at 15220-114 avenue for $6.5 million and paid off the $5 million mortgage five years later on September 3, 2007. We continue to forge ahead, building for the future with new administrative and training facilities for our Calgary office to better serve our members in the south of the province. Our “little local” has grown to approximately 4000 members and we are now the largest Local in the International Brotherhood. We continue to be recognized throughout the industry as having the most highly-skilled and qualified tradesmen and women that can be counted on to get the job done right. Sixty years ago, a group of men saw an opportunity to improve their lives through solidarity with one another. They joined together with others from across North America with the same vision and forged an organization of which we can all be proud. Throughout the years, many individuals have made great contributions to the growth of Lodge 146, sharing their vision, their wisdom and their leadership. Today the membership of Lodge 146 continues to build the future on a solid foundation forged by those 63 men at Sparling Davis.
