NBBTU are saddened by reports of the passing of Jeanne Gibson, one of the last surviving Rosie the Riveters.
During WWII, served her country as a welder, helping build ships at a time when women were breaking barriers in the skilled trades. RIP #rosietheriveter

Canadian labour has lost a remarkable leader.
Sister Stephanie Smith was a fierce champion for workers who led with humility, integrity & compassion. I'm proud to have called her a sister.
My heartfelt condolences to her loved ones & our labour family.

It was an honour to receive the King’s Coronation Medal in recognition of my work in the skilled trades and helping build Canada’s apprenticeship landscape.
Minister Williams has been a champion for women’s rights and the status of women in the skilled trades. I was pleased to work with her during my tenure at Skilled Trades Ontario.
Thank you, Minister, for this great honour.
