EDMONTON — The Progressive Contractors Association of Canada (PCA) says it’s willing to work with Canadian governments to help Ukrainian refugees settle in Canada.
The PCA stated in a release it applauds the the federal government’s move to fast-track Ukrainian refugees and calls on the provinces to take all available measures to facilitate their entry, settlement and employment as quickly as possible.
“We stand with others around the world in condemning Russia’s vicious and unprovoked attack on the people of Ukraine,” said PCA president Paul de Jong, noting PCA contractors employ many workers of Ukrainian descent. “We are painfully aware that Ukrainians are being displaced by the current conflict, and pledge to make jobs available for those who would like to join PCA members in building Canada and rebuilding their lives.
“We want Ukrainians to know that we support them; we admire their courage and resilience and welcome their skills. We believe the construction industry has a great deal to offer now, and in the future.”
