The BC Building Trades 20th Annual Charity Golf Tournament will be held today (July 18) at Hazelmere Golf and Country Club in Surrey. As in previous years, George & Bell Consulting will be participating and is providing sponsorship for the event. Over the past 19 years, the annual event has raised more than $360,000 for children’s charities. This year attendees and sponsors are helping to benefit UBC’s Centre for Research in Childhood Diabetes and Variety, the Children’s Charity.

The BC Building Trades Council was established in 1967. The Building Trades unions in BC have a long history. Organizations uniting the BC construction trade unions have existed under various banners and date back to the late 19th century. The BC Building Trades is governed by its membership.
