Andrew received the AMBA first-year Apprenticeship Bursary at the AMBA 2022 AGM. It was exciting to present Andrew with the second-year bursary, as well as the first-year Jim Mitchell Memorial Award – a combined total of $2,250! Andrew was out of town working on erecting another metal building and could not be present to receive the award and bursary in person, but he is very appreciative of Bexson Construction’s and AMBA’s support.

Message from the Chair: April 2023
The AMBA Board members continue to pursue erectors working in Alberta to join AMBA. AMBA is founded by Metal Building Erectors and will always be at the core of our Metal Building Association. However, it has been challenging to get erector companies to join AMBA. Perhaps it is because erectors may not find value in the association, aren’t aware of all the AMBA programs available to them, and don’t have the time to participate in meetings. The AMBA membership easily pays for itself: bursaries, awards, marketing, access to industry participants and networking! Please reach out to your erector companies and educate them on the benefits of joining AMBA… together we can make a difference.
