This milestone, achieved by LNG Canada and Coastal GasLink, underscores the vital role of Canada\u2019s unionized tradespeople, whose expertise and dedication drove efforts that employed over 65,000 workers during six years of construction. The \u201cWe Built That\u201d campaign is dedicated to honouring Canada&#8217;s unionized skilled tradespeople and their extraordinary contributions to securing our nation\u2019s energy future.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This project signifies a turning point for Canada&#8217;s energy sector by positioning the country as a global player in LNG exports. With the first cargo now shipped, Canada can provide cleaner energy to markets around the world and this project alone is anticipated to contribute up to $23 billion to our economy over the next 40 years. It is a legacy built by the hard work, skill, and commitment of Canada&#8217;s unionized tradespeople.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis milestone is a testament to the incredible skills and dedication of Canada\u2019s unionized tradespeople, who built the infrastructure that puts Canada on the map as a responsible and reliable LNG exporter,\u201d shared Sean Strickland, CBTU\u2019s executive director. \u201cCanada&#8217;s Building Trades Unions members from across the country who worked on this important project should be tremendously proud of their achievements. Their dedication will drive economic growth, create jobs, and will help shape a more sustainable energy future for our nation.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CBTU&#8217;s campaign aims to honour and recognize the dedication of Canada\u2019s unionized tradespeople while reinforcing the importance of continued development in our energy infrastructure, to lay the foundation for Canada&#8217;s long-term prosperity and global competitiveness.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join us in celebrating the hands that built this landmark achievement and in supporting Canada&#8217;s energy future.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>We Built That.&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information and to download shareable campaign materials, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buildingtrades.ca\/en\/we-built-that\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">buildingtrades.ca\/we-built-that\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ottawa, ON: Canada&#8217;s Building Trades Unions is proud to launch the \u201cWe Built That\u201d campaign today, a celebration of the skilled tradespeople and their role in an historic achievement: Canada\u2019s first liquefied natural gas (LNG) export.
