Welcome to the United Association

Director of Canadian Affairs Message:

Most people don’t think about pipes very much, but everyone recognizes that much of our infrastructure in Canada depends on them. In many ways, that also describes the people who work in the piping industry: the pipe trades play a crucial role in the construction sector, providing vital support to the broader economy.

As the association representing qualified pipes trades people, UA Canada is equally dedicated to supporting its members, giving them a collective voice and helping to build the partnerships – with industry and government – for ongoing success.

Having been around for more than a century, UA has faced plenty of challenges. Today is no different, and we remain committed to developing effective solutions to address the current issues we face, such as demographic shifts and labour shortages.

That is why we have crafted Moving Forward, a campaign based on working with our clients, owners, and contractors, to ensure we are providing the most skilled and professional workforce to complete their projects.

Moving Forward is aimed at bringing about a cultural shift – with an emphasis on professionalism and quality throughout the pipe trades.
