Homebuilder Jay Westman chats with SAIT building trades student Michael Orr after he announced a $15-million scholarship program for building trades students at SAIT on Tuesday, October 18, 2022.The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. released a housing supply report on Tuesday that shows a 20 per cent increase in housing starts in Calgary and Edmonton since the beginning of the year.
Michael Orr, a framer in the apprenticeship program at SAIT, said finances were a stumbling block he had to overcome for his training, and this initiative will help alleviate those concerns for others. Westman noted the high rates of pay throughout the apprenticeship program — about $40 per hour for a fourth-year journeyman plumber, for example, roughly $80,000 a year.
