Local 118 has been helping our members find jobs, defend their rights and advance their interests for over 50 years. Education and safety training have ensured that members remain at the top of their field. Heat and Frost Insulators in BC are industry leaders in building green, energy-efficient buildings to the highest standards.
We’re lobbying for comprehensive building codes on the municipal, provincial and federal levels. We meet and speak with municipal politicians and policy-makers, and provide and present educational materials. We’re talking to other mechanical contractors, building owners, developers, architects, engineers, politicians and senior staff at all levels of government, and the public.
We have the know-how to improve the energy performance of BC buildings.
Find out more about our campaign, check out our Energy Conservation Specialists website, and read our independently-commissioned White Paper.
The Salamander Story
According to the mythology, the fire salamander can withstand freezing temperatures and is impervious to fire.
Legend has it that it was freezing cold when Hannibal was crossing the Alps, so one of the soldiers picked up a frozen log to toss onto a fire. Shortly after the log began to thaw, a fire salamander crawled out of it.
It seems the perfect symbol for workers who insulate against heat and frost.
