The Mechanical Contractors Association of Canada is using a new web-based hiring tool called Clearfit.

Clearfit lets employers find potential recruits from multiple sources and was endorsed earlier this year by the Mechanical Contractors Association of Ontario.

Alberta is projected to be the fastest growing province in 2012, with Western Canada outperforming the rest of the nation thanks to continued growth in the resource sector.

Journal of Commerce Editorial Board member Grant McMillan has a column in Monday’s paper about the new preliminary assessment rates released by WorkSafeBC, and this week’s feature video focuses on Fraser Mcintosh, the chair of the VRCA’s U40 network.
