National Electrical Trade Council (NETCO)

NETCO is an alliance of the Canadian Electrical Contractors Association (CECA) and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) in Canada.

NETCO is the authoritative, pan-Canadian voice of electrical contractors and IBEW local unions representing apprentices and journeypersons in every province and territory.

NETCO’s mandate is to promote national standards in electrical skills training and to advocate on policy issues of importance to our partner organizations.

NETCO works to develop training standards for new technologies — for example Electric Vehicle Infrastructure and PV Solar — that are used across Canada.

NETCO is a robust advocate for the electrical industry on pending changes to Canada’s Red Seal Program.

National Trade Contractors Coalition of Canada (NTCCC)

The National Trade Contractors Coalition of Canada (NTCCC) is a group of like-minded national trade associations who have come together to identify issues of common interest. The members of the NTCCC are actively involved in several projects to assist not only the constituent membership of each association, but the industry as a whole

The Coalition has identified several key projects which they will focus on including:.

• Prompt Payment both Federally and provincially
• Supporting the use of unaltered forms of industry accepted standard forms of contracts
• Support for industry-wide acceptance (eg: owners, designers, engineers, general and trade contractors) of a national change order standard combined with a national education/awareness program
