Professional Glaziers Association of Alberta
The PGAA will be having our annual golf tournament on Friday, August 16 at Alberta Springs Golf Resort in Red Deer Alberta. We have 144 golfers registered and paid for. It is the most participation at a golf tournament for the glazing industry in Alberta’s history. This is our third annual golf tournament. Over those three years, we have raised in excess of $93,000. The funds raised this year will go towards the creation of the PGAA’s Master Glazier program. The Master Glazier program is a continuing education program for certified journeyman glaziers. The nine courses will be offered through the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology. The accreditation of the Master Glazier program will be by the PGAA.
The PGAA recently entered the Provincial Skills Competition as a “Try-A-Trade.” At this venue, approximately 4,000 junior high and high school students attended this event. The PGAA then had approximately 700 of those students go through our booth and tried their hand at cutting three-mm glass, installing 12-mm balustrade glass and finally fastening pressure plates onto curtainwall. After completing the three tasks, the students were then put into a draw for a new 42-inch flat screen TV.
The PGAA thanks Lynn Allan, PGAA education director, and Rick Makepeace, PGAA north director, and all of their volunteers for making this a huge success.
The PGAA along with GAMA will be hosting the next Glass Connections show for the Canadian Glass Association. This event will be held on Thursday, Oct. 10 at the Acclaim Hotel near the airport in Calgary. More details will follow from the CGA.
