February 4, 2013 - The National Electrical Trade Council (NETCO)—the joint training arm of the Canadian Electrical Contractors Association (CECA) and IBEW First District, Canada—is developing a Canadian Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program (Can-EVITP) in partnership with EVITP in the States.

Speaking on behalf of the Electrical Contractors Association of Ontario (ECAO) and IBEW, John Salmon of Roberts Onsite spoke to delegates at CanSIA’s Solar Canada 2012 Conference, reminding them of the promotion and training electrical professionals have put into the solar PV industry, including Construction Electrician Solar Photovoltaic System Certification through CSA.

EBMag is at the Canadian Solar Industry Association’s (CanSIA) Solar Canada 2012 Conference & Exhibition, and what a spectacular event! It’s the association’s 20th anniversary, after all! It is truly is the preeminent venue for anyone serious about solar thermal and photovoltaic (PV) technologies, business opportunities and legalities.

Yesterday, the Greater Toronto Area broke a record for highest temperature on July 17, but that didn’t stop diehards from hitting the links at Milton’s Royal Ontario G.C. for the 7th Annual Electrical Contractors Association of Ontario (ECAO) IBEW golf tournament. (Photos A. Capkun)

EBMag was there as a special ceremony took place at CanSIA’s Solar Canada 2011, where CSA recognized that the solar PV training program delivered by the Electrical Contractors Association of Ontario / IBEW-Construction Council of Ontario (ECAO/IBEW-CCO)—and supported by NETCO—aligns to the body of knowledge required for the Construction Electrician (NOC 7241) Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Systems Certified personnel certification program.

December 6, 2011 (Updated December 8, 2011) - Earlier today at the Solar Canada 2011 Conference, CSA Standards and the National Electrical Trade Council (NETCO)—the joint training arm of the Canadian Electrical Contractors Association (CECA) and IBEW, First District, Canada—promoted the availability of a personnel certification program for journeyperson electricians installing and maintaining solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in Canada. And EBMag was there to take in the action (CLICK HERE for VIDEO).
