Ontario Celebrates Skilled Trades Week

November 3, 2025

Ontario’s skilled tradespeople build the roads, schools, and hospitals that shaped our province — their dedication and sacrifice continue to inspire us today.

Our government is celebrating their contributions by establishing Skilled Trades Week, introduced in our sixth Working for Workers Act.

This Skilled Trades Week, held annually during the first week of November, honours those who built Ontario and are now mentoring the next generation.

This is a tribute to the men and women who turned blueprints into reality — and who continue to build our next generation.

Under Premier Ford’s leadership, our government stands shoulder to shoulder with workers, unions, and industry partners to ensure Ontario remains the best place to live, work, and build a future.

To deliver on our $200 billion infrastructure commitment, we are ensuring the next generation learns from the best through additional investments, cutting red tape and increasing accessibility — supporting the builders, innovators, and mentors who made Ontario what it is today.
