President's Message by Rob Istace I hope you had a productive and profitable 2008. Our provincial economy continues to lead the nation in growth, and our industry has never been busier. There are a number of key issues facing our industry and your feedback and support are key in helping to resolve these issues. Changing the apprenticeship and journeyperson ratio is important to ensure our industry continues to grow and meet growth demands. This newsletter includes a copy of the strategic plan for our association and our industry. Please review the plan and provide your feedback on the points included and the direction of our association. Your input is very important to help move our industry ahead, so please take a few minutes to review the strategic plan on the website (click here) and provide your comments. As always, I include members of our Board of Directors. I encourage you to contact any member of our Board of Directors on any issue of concern you may have.

Proposed High Voltage Electrical Safety Training Changes The Board of Directors has been in contact with Occupational Health and Safety concerning the proposed new training requirements for qualified workers in the high voltage electrical safety, which is set out in Section 45 of The Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, 1966. ECA of Saskatchewan wants to provide comments on the proposed changes before they are implemented. Central to our concern is how these changes will affect how our member companies conduct their business. On your behalf, the Board wants adequate industry consultation before any changes occur. Stay tuned for updates on this issue, as the Board of Directors meets with O.H.& S. officials.
