I’m honored to receive this award from PCL. PCL has and is a prominent leader in the construction industry employing many Steamfitters. I know several people who have worked for PCL, including my Dad who worked for them many times. I’m also proud to say that I also had a short work term for PCL and I very much look forward to working more with them in the future and thanking them personally for this fabulous award.

PCL’s involvement within the community is inspirational as it aligns with many of my personal beliefs. I have volunteered numerous times with Habitat Humanity, speaking with the residents, and seeing their gratitude is one of the reasons I fell in love with this industry.

I cannot thank the wonderful people at PCL enough. It’s an honour to be receiving the Century of Construction Excellence Award for Millwright. I am grateful for the recognition of the hard work I’ve been putting into my new career, this really helps motivate me to continue and keep getting better. Starting my schooling during the pandemic has been hard, and a lot different then I had imagined but I’ve tried to make the best of it. Thank you for investing in my future and helping me achieve my goals. I will not forget this!
Mitchell Varley
The best way to thank PCL is by telling them how this award has helped me and made me feel. This past year was very difficult, for everyone. Through the pandemic I was unable to find part time work while I was in school. It made me worry everyday about money and how I was going to make it through the semester. The assistance this award provided me helped me push through the second semester of my schooling and into my summer employment through the co-op program at NAIT. On top of the obvious financial aide that this provided me, simply being recognized for the hard work that I put in to get good grades made me feel amazing. Being told that your hard work is paying off is one of the biggest reliefs you can give to a stressed student. For that, I thank PCL for their generosity and support!
Randy Toovey
I would like to thank PCL for providing this generous award to the apprentices in their respective fields. It is a great incentive to build better tradesmen for the future, and open the door to opportunity. I think rewarding people for their hard work is a driver to propel society to do better, to push innovation, and establish a sense of pride in our work. I personally would like to thank you for this award, the recognition of my hard work, and of course for the monetary incentive.

Going into the first year of my program, I had a lot to prove to myself and to those that support me that I was serious about this program, but I could also achieve excellence in my academics. It has been a difficult and stressful first year, not only due to the challenges of online learning and the covid pandemic, but other factors as well.
I am honoured to receive this reward that recognizes the hard work I put throughout the first year of my program. It was an invaluable contribution to me financially, as well as a great source of pride and motivation to be rewarded for my hard work. I want to thank PCL for their generosity and commitment in recognizing students that achieve academic excellence.
